Magnesium sulfate main purpose

Medicine
( 1 ) magnesium inhibit the central nervous system , skeletal muscle relaxation , a sedative , antispasmodic and reduce intracranial pressure and so on. Commonly used to treat seizures, eclampsia, uremia , such as tetanus and hypertensive encephalopathy . More in 10 ml of 10% magnesium deep intramuscular or diluted with 5 % glucose 2% to 2.5% of a solution of the slow drip . It should be noted direct intravenous or intramuscular injection of large doses of magnesium is very dangerous , usually a maximum of 25% magnesium sulfate with 15 ml can. Should be used to observe the patient’s breathing and blood pressure , slow knee reflex is an important sign of a sufficient amount of magnesium ions .
( 2 ) Magnesium has an extremely important role in the metabolism of sugar and a protein . Child growth and development period of time if there is indigestion and vitamin D, magnesium salt should be added .
( 3 ) having a plurality of magnesium potassium similar physiological functions. Due to the lack of clinical manifestations of magnesium and potassium similar, so magnesium deficiency is often easily overlooked. When potassium and when potassium after no improvement of symptoms , you should first take into account the possibility of magnesium deficiency , so in order to make timely corrective hypomagnesemia . Thus , long-term infusion of the patient , at the same time pay attention to the potassium magnesium supplementation . Plus 1 g daily infusion of magnesium sulfate to prevent the occurrence of hypomagnesemia .
( 4 ) patients with cardiac dysfunction when using digitalis drugs may be appropriate to supplement magnesium, low magnesium aggravated prevent digitalis toxicity . Treatment with magnesium tachycardia often effective clinically .
( 5 ) Oral magnesium little absorption in the intestine , so none of the above purposes. But there is good oral magnesium sulfate catharsis function, so called magnesium sulfate Epsom salts . Reaches the intestine after oral administration of aqueous magnesium sulfate solution , a certain osmotic pressure, so that water is not absorbed by the intestinal wall . Enteral retain large amounts of water , able to stimulate intestinal peristalsis and defecation. Thus magnesium sulfate for the treatment of constipation, intestinal abnormal fermentation ; with insect repellent and use, intestinal worms can easily eliminated . Can each be 5 to 20 grams of magnesium sulfate dissolved in 100 to 400 ml of warm water in the morning orally once . High concentration difficult , preferably 5% , otherwise the delay defecation .
( 6 ) magnesium can stimulate the duodenal mucosa , bile duct caused by reflex sphincter relaxation , cholecystokinin , thereby promoting gallbladder emptying, choleretic effect. For the treatment of cholecystitis and cholelithiasis , each 2 to 5 grams , 3- times daily, before meals or food orally. 50% to 33% of magnesium sulfate dilution (high concentration ), 5ml Tid.
( 7 ) magnesium sulfate can be used as gastrointestinal contrast
( 8 ) anti-inflammatory to the swelling of the goods 50% topical solution heat affected area , remove swelling anti-inflammatory effect.
Topical magnesium powder can be swelling, swelling after treatment for physical trauma, to help improve rough skin and so on.
Magnesium

Magnesium
magnesium sulfate soluble in water, not orally absorbed, aqueous solution of magnesium ions and sulfate ions are not easily absorbed by the intestinal wall , so that intestinal osmotic pressure, the water body fluids move to the intestine , so that the intestine volume increase , wall expansion , thereby stimulating intestinal afferent nerve endings caused by reflex increases peristalsis catharsis , its role in the entire bowel , so fast and strong . As a cathartic agent and duodenal drainage agent.
Intravenous and intramuscular magnesium sulfate is mainly used anticonvulsant, it can cause blood vessels to dilate , causing blood pressure to drop , due to the central inhibition and skeletal muscle relaxant effect of magnesium sulfate , antihypertensive effect, mainly used in clinical remission eclampsia, tetanus such as seizures , but also for the treatment of hypertensive crisis . Also used as a drug solution of barium salts.
Industry
For tanning , explosives , fertilizers , paper , porcelain, printing dyes, lead-acid battery industry. Magnesium and other potassium , calcium, amino acid salts , minerals such as silicates , bath salts can be used .
Agriculture
Fertilizer: In agriculture and gardening , magnesium sulfate is used to improve soil magnesium (magnesium is an essential element of the chlorophyll molecule ) , the most commonly used for potted plants , or magnesium crops, such as potatoes, roses, tomatoes, peppers and marijuana. Administration of magnesium sulfate advantage over other magnesium magnesium soil amendments ( such as dolomitic lime ) is its high solubility.
Feed: feed grade magnesium as magnesium supplement feed processing . Magnesium is involved in osteoblast animal body and muscle contraction process indispensable factor is the animal in vivo activator of many enzymes , the body of the animal ‘s metabolism and nerve function plays an extremely important role. If the animal body magnesium deficiency , metabolism and can cause neurological disorders, feeding disorders, affect animal growth and development, and even lead to death
