calcium supplements
proto: calcium citrate (Citrical)
calcium carbonate (Tums, Rolaids)
calcium acetate (PhosLo)
IV: calcium chloride, calcium gluconate
calcium supplements MOA
maintenance of normal musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiovascular function
calcium supplements USE
hypocalcemia
deficiencies of parthyroid hormone, Vitamin D, dietary calcium
IV meds are used for clients with critically low levels of calcium
calcium supplements adverse
hypercalcemia greater than (10.5 mg/dL)
tachycardia and elevatedBP leading to bradycardia and hypotension, muscle weakness and hypotonia, constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, lethargy, confusion
calcium supplements interventions
calcium levels (9.0-10.5 mg/dL)

IV furosemide (Lasix), IV glucocorticoids galium (Ganite)
biophosphates ( alendronate (Fosamax), and oral inorganic phosphates are used to reverse hypercalcemia
calcium supplements contraindicaitons
hypercalcemia
bone tumors
hyperparathyroidism
kidney disease
GI function
calcium supplements inteactions
glucocorticoids- reduce absorption
calcium- decreases absorption of tetracyclines and thyroid hormone
thiazide diuretics increases risk of hypercalcemia
spinach, rhubarb, bran, whole grains may decrease calcium absorption
IV calcium preciptiates with phosphates, carbonates, sulfates, and tartrates
digoxin and parenteral calcium can lead to severe bradycardia
calcium supplements admin
1 hour apart from glucocorticoids, tetracyclines, and other thyroid hormones
warm IV infusions of calcium to body temperature
admin IV injections at 0.5-2 mL/min
calcium supplements effectiveness
serum calcium levels between (9.0-10.5 mg/dL
selective estrogen receptor modulator
proto: ralxifene (Evista)
selective estrogen receptor modulator MOA
endogenous estrogen in bone, lipid metabolism, and blood coagulation
decreases bone absorption (preservation of bone loss)
antagonist to estrogen on breast and endometrial tissue
decrease plasma levels of cholesterol
selective estrogen receptor modulator use
prevent and treat postmenopausal osteoporosis and prevent spinal fractures in female clients
protect against breast cancer
selective estrogen receptor adverse
increases risk for pulmonary embolism and DVT
hot flashes
selective estrogen receptor contraindications
history of venous thrombosis
selective estrogen receptor interactions
concurrent use with estrogen therapy is discouraged
selective estrogen receptor admin
consume adequate amounts of calcium and vit D
may be taken with or without food once a day
monitor bone density and serum calcium
LFT
weight bearing exercises daily
selective estrogen receptor effectiveness
increase in bone density
no fractures
bisphosphates
proto: alendronate (Fosamax)
other: ibandronate (Boniva)
risedronate (Actonel)
IV infusion- zoledronic (Reclast, Zometa)
biophosphates MOA
decrease number and action of osteoclasts, which thereby inhibits bone reabsorption
biophosphates use
prophylaxis and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis
prophylaxis and treatment of osteoporosis produced by long-term glucocorticoid use
clients who have Paget's disease of bone and hypercalcemia of malignancy
biophosphates adverse
esophagitis, esophageal ulceration
GI disturbances
musculoskeletal pain
visual disturbances
bisphosphate related osteonecrosis of the jaw with IV infusion
hyperparathyroidism at higher dose used for Paget's disease
biphosphates contraindications
lactation
esophageal stricture, disorders, difficulty swallowing
renal impairment, hypocalcemia
cannot sit upright or stand or at least 30 min after taking med
liver impairment
femoral fractures are greater risk for older adult
bisphosphate interactions
Aldendronate absorption decreases when taken with calcium supplements, orange juice, antacids, and caffeine
bisphosphate interventions
empty stomach with at least 8oz of water
30 min after admin to take antacids or calcium
bisphosphate admin
take med first thing in morning after getting out of bed
sit or ambulate for 30 min after taking med
avoid all calcium containing foods and liquids or any meds within 30 min of takingalendronate
bone density scan every 12-18 months
bisphosphate effectiveness
increase in bone density
no fractures
calcitonin
proto: calcitonin-salmon (Fortical, Miacalcin)
calcitonin MOA
decreases bone resorption by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts in osteoporosis
increases renal calcium excretion by inhibiting tubular resorption
calcitonin use
treats postmenopausal osteoporosis, and treats moderate to severe Paget's disease
hypercalcemia caused by hyperparathyroidism and cancer
calcitonin adverse
nausea
nasal dryness
calcitonin contraindications
hypersensitivity to med and fish protein
lactation, children, kidney disease
calcitonin interactions
lithium may decrease lithium levels
calcitonin admin
alternate nostrils daily
check for chvosek's or trousseau's signs to monitor for hypocalcemia
consume diet high in calcium and vit D
calcitonin effectiveness
increase in bone density
calcium level within expected reference range of 9-10.5 mg/dL
