Intravenous calcium Gluconate alleviates Lead-induced abdominal pain, a randomized clinical trial.

CONCLUSION: Intravenous calcium gluconate administration along with morphine can improve abdominal pain in lead poisoning due to the ingestion of lead-contaminated opium. Further interventional studies are recommended to see if response to calcium salts in suspected lead-induced abdominal pain can rule in lead toxicity. TRIAL REGISTRATION: IRCT20171009036661N2.
