Calcium Chloride Injection is contraindicated in: Patients with ventricular fibrillation Patients with asystole and electromechanical dissociation Newborns (up to 28 days of age) if they require (or are expected to require) ceftriaxone intravenous treatment because of the risk of precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium, regardless of whether these products would be received at different times or through separate intravenous lines [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] .

Calcium Chloride Injection is contraindicated in: Patients with ventricular fibrillation. ( 4 ) Patients with asystole and electromechanical dissociation. ( 4 ) Newborns (up to 28 days of age) if they require (or are expected to require) ceftriaxone intravenous treatment, regardless of whether these products would be received at different times or through separate intravenous lines ( 4 , 5.1 )] .

End-Organ Damage due to Intravascular Ceftriaxone-Calcium Precipitates: Calcium Chloride Injection is contraindicated in newborns (up to 28 days of age) if they require (or are expected to require) ceftriaxone intravenous treatment. In patients older than 28 days of age, do not mix or administer simultaneously with ceftriaxone intravenous solutions, even via different infusion lines or at different infusion sites as it can lead to precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium.

( 5.1 ) Hypotension, Bradycardia, Arrhythmias, and Syncope with Rapid Administration: Too rapid an injection exceeding 1 mL/minute may lead to hypotension and syncope. ( 2.1 , 5.2 ) Arrhythmias with Concomitant Digoxin Use: Avoid use of Calcium Chloride Injection in patients receiving digoxin. Closely monitor ECG and calcium levels if concomitant therapy is necessary. ( 5.3 , 7.1 ) Tissue Necrosis and Calcinosis: Administer Calcium Chloride Injection slowly through a small needle into a large vein to minimize the risk of tissue necrosis, ulceration and calcinosis.
