What does it do?

Calcium chloride is an inorganic salt composed of calcium ions and chloride ions, primarily used to maintain normal calcium levels in the blood. In pharmaceuticals, it is used to correct electrolyte imbalances or improve conditions of calcium deficiency.

Calcium chloride supplies calcium ions in the body, increasing calcium concentration in the blood. Calcium is essential for nerve and muscle function, as well as the blood coagulation process, so supplementing it helps maintain normal physiological functions.
