Sodium Gluconate's early uses were primarily in medicine due to its mild and non-toxic properties. Over time, its applications expanded to various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, construction, textiles, and more, as its versatile properties and safety profile became more widely recognized.
Diclofenac, sold under the brand name Voltaren among others, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain and inflammatory diseases such as gout. [6] [9] It can be taken orally (swallowed by mouth), inserted rectally as a suppository, injected intramuscularly, injected intravenously, applied to the skin topically, or through eye drops.
Calcium gluconate is the calcium salt of gluconic acid and is used as a mineral supplement and medication. [1] As a medication it is used by injection into a vein to treat low blood calcium, high blood potassium, and magnesium toxicity. [1] [2] Supplementation is generally only required when there is not enough calcium in the diet. [3]
Chlorhexidine is a cation which interacts with anionic components of toothpaste, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium monofluorophosphate, and forms salts of low solubility and reduced antibacterial activity. Hence, to enhance the antiplaque effect of chlorhexidine, "it seems best that the interval between toothbrushing and rinsing with CHX ...
Salt poisoning sufficient to produce severe symptoms is rare, and lethal salt poisoning is possible but even rarer. The lethal dose of table salt is roughly 0.5–1 gram per kilogram of body weight. [1] In medicine, salt poisoning is most frequently encountered in children or infants [2] [3] who may be made to consume excessive amounts of table ...
Acute digitalis overdose such as digoxin toxicity may cause hyperkalemia [23] through the inhibition of sodium-potassium-ATPase pump. [15] Massive blood transfusion can cause hyperkalemia, especially in infants and patients with low glomerular filtration rate (GFR, a measure of kidney function) due to leakage of potassium out of the red blood ...
Sodium stibogluconate, sold under the brand name Pentostam among others, is a medication used to treat leishmaniasis. [3] This includes leishmaniasis of the cutaneous, visceral, and mucosal types. [4] Some combination of miltefosine, paromomycin and liposomal amphotericin B, however, may be recommended due to issues with resistance.
Other than the mechanism of toxicity, four clinical stages of iron toxicity has been classified [4] [9] The first stage is the initial stage of excess iron in intestinal system and circulation. High iron concentration causes hemorrhagic necrosis and ulceration of the upper intestine, leading to breakage of intestinal mucosal barrier and blood loss.
