OSSOPAN-1100 (hydroxyapatite)


Drug overview for OSSOPAN-1100 (hydroxyapatite):

Generic name: hydroxyapatite
Drug class: Calcium
Therapeutic class: Electrolyte Balance-Nutritional Products

Calcium salts are used as a source of calcium, an essential nutrient cation.

Calcium salts are used as a source of calcium cation for the treatment or prevention of calcium depletion in patients in whom dietary measures are inadequate. Conditions that may be associated with calcium deficiency include hypoparathyroidism, achlorhydria, chronic diarrhea, vitamin D deficiency, steatorrhea, sprue, pregnancy and lactation, menopause, pancreatitis, renal failure, alkalosis, and hyperphosphatemia. Administration of certain drugs (e.g., some diuretics, anticonvulsants) may sometimes result in hypocalcemia which may warrant calcium replacement therapy.

Calcium should be administered in long-term electrolyte replacement regimens and is also recommended for the routine prophylaxis of hypocalcemia during transfusions with citrated blood. Administration of calcium salts should not preclude the use of other measures intended to correct the underlying cause of calcium depletion.
