If you are talking about the Calcium Gluconate 10% solution, the maximum dose 1000mg per dose 4 times daily. This means 10 ml per dose maximum.

Refer to Lexicomp or Micromedex

Dose depends on clinical condition and serum calcium concentration:
General dosing: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: Dose expressed as calcium gluconate: IV: 200 to 500 mg/kg/day as a continuous infusion or in 4 divided doses; maximum dose: Infants and Children: 1,000 mg/dose; Adolescents: 2,000 to 3,000 mg/dose
