Calcium Dextrose CMPK is a prescription sterile injectable solution formulated for cattle. It provides calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and dextrose to support animals experiencing certain mineral and electrolyte deficiencies.
The product is indicated as an aid in the treatment of hypocalcemia, including parturient paresis or milk fever, hypomagnesemia or grass tetany, and other conditions associated with deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. Because the solution is administered intravenously and rapid administration can cause serious cardiovascular effects, it should be used only under veterinary direction.
Calcium Dextrose CMPK supplies several essential minerals and dextrose in a sterile aqueous solution. Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium contribute to normal physiological functions, including muscle, nerve, cardiovascular, and metabolic processes.
The intravenous formulation provides these components directly into circulation when veterinarian-directed mineral supplementation is required.
