    Calcium carbonate is an electrolyte that helps maintain cardiac and nervous system function. It is used to treat dietary calcium deficiency, osteoporosis, hypocalcemia, and as an antacid for upset stomach. Potential side effects include slowed heart rate, tingling, nausea, constipation, and abdominal pain. Nurses should monitor calcium levels, administer calcium hourly for the first 2 weeks when treating acute conditions, and instruct patients to chew antacid tablets thoroughly.
