If the patient received doses higher than those recommended, the patient must be carefully monitored by the doctor. This is because the patient may develop serum electrolyte abnormalities (e.g. abnormal levels of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium) and/or changes in kidney function, including severe kidney impairment. If the level of calcium falls too low, the patient may have to be given supplemental calcium by infusion.
