Mechanism of Action

Calcium chloride in water dissociates to provide calcium (ca²⁺) and chloride (cl^-) ions. They are normal constituents of the body fluids and are dependent on various physiological mechanisms for maintenance of balance between intake and output. For hyperkalemia, the influx of calcium helps restore the normal gradient between threshold potential and resting membrane potential
