Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Calcium carbonate is an inorganic salt primarily used in the management and treatment of low calcium conditions, GERD, CKD, and various other indicated conditions. It is classified as a calcium supplement, antacid, and phosphate binder.

Detailed explanation-2: -Treatment focuses on oral calcium and vitamin D supplements, as well as magnesium if deficiency is present. Treatment can be further intensified with thiazide diuretics, phosphate binders, and a low-salt and low-phosphorus diet when treating hypocalcemia secondary to hypoparathyroidism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Active vitamin D (calcitriol) enhances the absorption of calcium. Finally, the calcium in the dialysate bath can be increased. Nutritional vitamin D deficiency from lack of sunlight exposure or poor oral intake of vitamin D responds to treatment with ultraviolet light or sunlight exposure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Treatment of hypocalcemia depends on severity and chronicity. A calcium infusion is indicated for severe acute and or symptomatic hypocalcemia, while the standard mainstays of oral therapy are calcium supplements and activated vitamin D metabolites.
