* Two [[ampoule]]s of [[intravenous]] [[calcium gluconate]] 10% is given slowly in a period of 10 minutes, or if the hypocalcemia is severe, [[calcium chloride]] is given instead.
* Maintenance doses of both calcium and vitamin-D (often as 1,25-(OH)<sub>2</sub>-D<sub>3</sub>, i.e. [[calcitriol]])) are often necessary to prevent further decline.
