The role of magnesium sulfate

Magnesium sulfate is mainly a chemical substance. It is not as soluble as anhydrous magnesium sulfate. It is easier to measure in industry and requires a certain amount of control. It is mainly used in medical oral medicines and some explosives. It has many uses in actual fertilizers. Its main advantage is its high solubility. It is also used to make some predictions. Its solubility is also quite high. It is soluble in water, ethanol and glycerin.

It's mainly the type of crystal. Its physical and chemical properties are very simple. Its role in life is to stimulate the nervous system and relax skeletal muscles. It has a calming effect and plays an extremely important role in the metabolism of sugar and protein.

(1) Magnesium sulfate can inhibit the central nervous system, relax skeletal muscles, and has sedative, antispasmodic and intracranial pressure reducing effects. It is often used to treat convulsions, eclampsia, uremia, tetanus and hypertensive encephalopathy. It is usually injected deep into the muscle with 10 ml of 10% magnesium sulfate or diluted with 5% glucose to a 2% to 2.5% solution and slowly dripped. However, it should be noted that direct intravenous injection or large-dose intramuscular injection of magnesium sulfate is very dangerous. Generally, a maximum of 15 ml of 25% magnesium sulfate can be used each time. When using, pay attention to observe the patient's breathing and blood pressure. Sluggish knee reflex is an important sign of adequate magnesium ion intake.

(2) Magnesium plays an extremely important role in the metabolism of sugar and protein. Children in their growth and development period who have indigestion and are taking vitamin D should supplement with magnesium salt.

(3) Magnesium has many physiological functions similar to those of potassium. Since the clinical manifestations of magnesium deficiency are similar to those of potassium deficiency, magnesium deficiency is often easily overlooked. When potassium deficiency occurs and symptoms do not improve after potassium supplementation, the possibility of magnesium deficiency should be considered first, so that hypomagnesemia can be corrected in time. Therefore, patients receiving long-term infusions should pay attention to magnesium supplementation while supplementing potassium. Adding 1 gram of magnesium sulfate to the daily infusion can prevent the occurrence of hypomagnesemia.

(4) When patients with heart failure use digitalis drugs, they can appropriately supplement with magnesium salts to prevent low magnesium levels from aggravating the toxicity of digitalis. In clinical practice, magnesium salts are often effective in treating tachycardia.

The above are the effects of magnesium sulfate. In life, its effects include stimulating the nervous system and relaxing skeletal muscles. It can have a calming effect and at the same time, it plays an extremely important role in the metabolism of sugar and protein. At the same time, it also has very good effects on some other types of intestinal diseases. It can be used as some intravenous injections and pay attention to the injection to cause vasodilation and lead.
