Calcium Chloride IV Push Restrictions

We have been having some discussion regarding calcium chloride IV push and if there should be restrictions as to who can order it and where it can be administered. Calcium chloride 100mg/mL syringes are loaded in our Pyxis machines, are available via override in emergency situations and are stocked in our code carts. I would love to hear if other hospitals have any restrictions on calcium chloride IV push and what they are. Thanks!
