Cal-Rsodate Injection 5 ml

Cal-Rsodate Injection 5 ml belongs to a group of medicines called chelating agents. It is used to treat lead poisoning (both acute and chronic) and lead encephalopathy in both children and adults. Chronic lead poisoning happens when lead builds up in the body over months or years. Even small quantities of lead can lead to significant health issues. Lead encephalopathy is a severe late-stage complication of lead poisoning, often affecting the brain’s blood vessels, and it is more commonly seen in children than adults.

Cal-Rsodate Injection 5 ml contains Edetate calcium disodium, which works by moving into tissues, primarily the kidneys and bones, where it binds to lead ions by replacing them with calcium. The lead is then removed from the body through urine.

Common side effects of Cal-Rsodate Injection 5 ml include fever, tiredness, headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, joint or muscle pain, skin rash, and injection site pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and tend to resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist, please contact your doctor.

Before starting treatment with Cal-Rsodate Injection 5 ml, inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components. Also, tell your doctor about all medications you are taking to rule out any potential side effects or interactions. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before receiving Cal-Rsodate Injection 5 ml. Let your doctor know if you have any medical conditions, such as anuria (complete absence of urine output), oliguria (reduced urine output), or liver/kidney diseases, before receiving Cal-Rsodate Injection 5 ml.

• If you have lead pipes, run cold water for at least a minute before use. Do not use hot water for cooking or making baby formula.
• Fix peeling lead paint on the walls of your home and avoid sanding to prevent lead dust.
• Encourage your child to wash their hands after playing outdoors and before meals. Make sure to clean their toys regularly.
• Mop floors with water and wipe dusty surfaces with a damp cloth.
• Take shoes off before entering the house to keep lead-based soil outside.
• Keep children away from playing directly in the soil. Use a covered sandbox and cover bare soil with grass or mulch.
• Eating regular meals and maintaining good nutrition can help reduce lead absorption. Ensure your child gets enough calcium, vitamin C, and iron to help reduce lead absorption.
