Calcium hydrogen phosphate is a type of calcium phosphate.
Therapeutic Use Uses—An excellent source of calcium and phosphorus during pregnancy, lactation, or mild to moderate hypocalcemia (characterized by mild tetany). …If tetany is severe, intravenous calcium supplementation may be necessary. …Dosage—1 to 5 grams daily, divided into two or more doses. This product is not sold as a single formulation; therefore, the dosage of other components may need to be considered when developing an appropriate dosing regimen.Low doses and frequent administration of calcium are more readily absorbed. Medicinal (Veterinary): Used for the prevention and treatment of rickets, in conjunction with vitamin D therapy, and as a source of calcium and phosphorus in feed. The calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in the diet must be maintained at an optimal level. Calcium hydrogen phosphate, National Formulary…/belongs to CMPD/, is classified as a non-systemic gastric acid inhibitor, but its efficacy is low and it is rarely used. Medicinal (Veterinary): Formerly used as a dietary supplement and antacid. Drug Warning Due to the presence of phosphates, this medication is contraindicated in patients with hypoparathyroidism. Calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate (DCPD, CAS 7789-77-7) is a pharmaceutical excipient and food additive with the molecular formula CaHPO₄·2H₂O.
