formula as the epsom salts formula " + 7H20. "

Description

Magnesium sulfate reduces striated muscle contractions and blocks

peripheral neuromuscular transmission by reducing acetylcholine

release at the myoneural junction. In emergency care, magnesium

sulfate is used to manage seizures associated with toxemia of

pregnancy. Other uses include uterine relaxation (to inhibit

contractions of premature labor), as a bronchodilator after

beta-agonist and anticholinergic agents have been used, replacement

therapy for magnesium deficiency, as a cathartic to reduce the

absorption of poisons from the Gl tract, and in the initial therapy

for convulsions. Magnesium sulfate is gaining popularity as an initial

treatment in the management of various dysrhythmias, particularly

torsades de pointes, and dysrhythmias secondary to a tricyclic

antidepressant overdose or digitalis toxicity. The drug is also

considered as a class Ila agent (probably helpful) for refractory

ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia after

administration of lidocaine or bretylium doses.

Magnesium sulfate is used to treat pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and

preterm labor.

Pre-eclampsia (also known as toxemia and Pregnancy-Induced High Blood

Pressure) consists of high blood pressure, protein in the urine and

edema (swelling). It can rapidly become severe pre-eclampsia, with

very high blood pressure, visual disturbances, failing kidneys and

elevated liver enzymes. In rare cases, pre-eclampsia develops into

eclampsia, where potentially fatal convulsions occur. It also can

become HELLP Syndrome (hemolysis (H), which is the breaking down of

red blood cells, elevated liver enzymes (EL), and low platelet count

(LP)), which is potentially fatal to both the woman and her baby or

babies.
