Magnesium Sulphate

Magnesium Sulphate is a medical substance that is commonly used as an intravenous (IV) infusion in healthcare settings. It is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including nerve function, muscle function, and the regulation of blood pressure and heart rate.
The primary use of Magnesium Sulphate is to prevent and treat low magnesium levels in the body, which can occur due to various reasons such as certain medical conditions, prolonged use of certain medications, or severe diarrhea. This medication can also be used to alleviate symptoms of pre-eclampsia, a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and damage to organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Magnesium Sulphate is administered through an intravenous (IV) infusion, allowing it to quickly enter the bloodstream and effectively replenish magnesium levels. It is important to monitor the patient closely during the administration of this medication, as excessive magnesium levels can lead to serious side effects such as muscle weakness, respiratory distress, and even death.
