Details

Magnesium sulfate is applied in replacement therapy for hypomagnesemia. It can be used orally as a laxative to relieve occasional constipation, and to treat low levels of magnesium. It works by replacing magnesium in the body and increasing water in the intestines. It is the first-line antiarrhythmic agent for torsades de pointes in cardiac arrest under the 2005 ECC guidelines and for managing quinidine-induced arrhythmias. It is effective in decreasing the risk that pre-eclampsia progresses to eclampsia.
