COMPOSITION
Active substances: Calcium chloride 10 g; Magnesium chloride 2.5 g
Excipient (distilled water) ad 100 ml
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Calcium ion is involved in many physiological processes, as follows: increases the ostheosynthesis, neuromuscular tone, phagocytosis and blood coagulation (by favoring the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin), activity of trypsin and other glycolytic enzymes; reduces edema by decreasing the vascular permeability and activation of diuresis. It acts as antiallergenic and anti-inflammatory agent.
Magnesium ion acts as calcium antagonist: depress the central nervous system, cardiac activity, intestine tonus, blood pressure and produces uterus relaxation, favoring the implantation.
Combination of these chlorides provides a moderate action by reducing the effects of both substances, acting as a tonic for the heart and central nervous system.
