Calcium injection name?

What is the most common “calcium injection” name?

In hospital use, the most common calcium injection is called calcium gluconate injection (often written calcium gluconate, or gluconate).

Other calcium injection names you may see

Depending on the indication and country, clinicians may also use other injectable calcium salts, including:
- Calcium chloride injection (often used in more urgent settings)
- Calcium gluceptate (an alternative calcium salt used in some places)

If you’re trying to identify a specific vial or order

“Calcium injection” is often shorthand in conversation. The exact name on the medication label/order typically specifies the salt (for example, calcium gluconate vs calcium chloride) and sometimes includes the concentration (mg/mL) and brand.

If you share what’s written on the box/label (even a partial name) or the strength (e.g., “10%” or “mg/mL”), I can help match the exact injection name.
