• Treat and prevent hypocalcemia
• Over-the-counter calcium supplements are numerous and are contained in many antacids as a secondary therapeutic effect. They are used to prevent osteoporosis when normal diet is lacking adequate amounts of calcium
• Calcium Carbonate (Calci-Mix, Tums)
• Calcium Citrate (Cal-Citrate 250, Citracal)
