Do not administer inorganic phosphate solutions simultaneously or shortly after the

Calcium may cause a transient hypercalcaemia with the following symptoms: initial
bradycardia, agitation, muscle tremors, salivation, increase in respiratory rate.
Increase in heart rate following initial bradycardia may indicate that overdosing has
occurred. In this case the administration should be stopped immediately. Delayed side
effects, that can manifest as disorders of general condition, and symptoms of
hypercalcaemia 6 – 10 hours after administration are not to be diagnosed as a
recurring hypocalcaemia.
In case of acute hypomagnesaemia, the administration of a solution with a higher
concentration of magnesium may be necessary.
