Description

Magnesium sulfate (magnesium sulfate (magnesium sulfate injection) injection) should be given very cautiously in the presence of serious impairment of renal function since it is excreted almost entirely by the kidneys.
It is used:
To treat low levels of magnesium in the blood
To prevent seizures caused by a serious complication of pregnancy known as eclampsia
In the treatment of acute hypomagnesemia
Magnesium sulfate injection is used to treat hypomagnesemia (low levels of magnesium in your blood). Magnesium sulfate injection is also used to prevent seizures in pregnant women with conditions such as pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, or toxemia of pregnancy.
