Gallium nitrate inhibits calcium resorption from bone and is used to treat symptomatic hypercalcemia of malignancy. Mild to moderate hypocalcemia occurred in approximately 38% of treated patients in one clinical trial. Gallium nitrate should generally not be used in patients with preexisting hypocalcemia. If hypocalcemia occurs during treatment, gallium nitrate should be stopped. Short-term calcium therapy may be necessary to reverse the condition.
