Symptomatic hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia can be treated with replacement therapy. |
Pre-existing hypocalcemia must be treated by adequate intake of calcium and Vitamin D before initiating pamidronate disodium for injection. |
Serum calcium must be measured periodically to be certain that treatment is effective and that neither hypocalcemia nor hypercalcemia is present. |
Patients with symptomatic hypocalcemia can be treated with intravenous administration of calcium salts. |
The patient may experience nausea, vomiting, hyperventilation, and hypocalcemia with muscle tetany and seizures. |
