Product Elements:
Magnesium sulfate magnesium sulfate in water for magnesium sulfate heptahydrate magnesium cation sodium hydroxide sulfuric acid water magnesium sulfate magnesium sulfate in water for magnesium sulfate heptahydrate magnesium cation sodium hydroxide sulfuric acid water
Indications and Usage:
Indications and usage magnesium sulfate in water for injection is indicated for the prevention and control of seizures in preeclampsia and eclampsia, respectively. when used judiciously it effectively prevents and controls the convulsions of eclampsia without producing deleterious depression of the central nervous system of the mother or infant. however, other effective drugs are available for this purpose.
Warnings:
Warnings fetal harm: continuous administration of magnesium sulfate beyond 5 to 7 days to pregnant women can lead to hypocalcemia and bone abnormalities in the developing fetus. these bone abnormalities include skeletal demineralization and osteopenia. in addition, cases of neonatal fracture have been reported. the shortest duration of treatment that can lead to fetal harm is not known. magnesium sulfate should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. if magnesium sulfate is given for treatment of preterm labor, the woman should be informed that the efficacy and safety of such use have not been established and that use of magnesium sulfate beyond 5 to 7 days may cause fetal abnormalities. parenteral use in the presence of renal insufficiency may lead to magnesium intoxication.
Dosage and Administration:
Dosage and administration magnesium sulfate in water for injection is intended for intravenous use only. for the management of pre-eclampsia or eclampsia, intravenous infusions of dilute solutions of magnesium (1% to 8%) are often given in combination with intramuscular injections of 50% magnesium sulfate injection, usp. therefore, in the clinical conditions cited below, both forms of therapy are noted, as appropriate. continuous maternal administration of magnesium sulfate in pregnancy beyond 5 to 7 days can cause fetal abnormalities. in eclampsia in severe pre-eclampsia or eclampsia, the total initial dose is 10 g to 14 g of magnesium sulfate. to initiate therapy, 4 g of magnesium sulfate in water for injection may be administered intravenously. the rate of intravenous infusion should generally not exceed 150 mg/minute, or 3.75 ml of a 4% concentration (or its equivalent) per minute, except in severe eclampsia with seizures. simultaneously, 4 g to 5 g (32.5 meq to 40.6 meq) of magnes

Contraindications:
Contraindications intravenous magnesium should not be given to mothers with toxemia of pregnancy during the two hours preceding delivery.
Adverse Reactions:
Adverse reactions the adverse effects of parenterally administered magnesium usually are the result of magnesium intoxication. these include flushing, sweating, hypotension, depressed reflexes, flaccid paralysis, hypothermia, circulatory collapse, cardiac and central nervous system depression proceeding to respiratory paralysis. hypocalcemia with signs of tetany secondary to magnesium sulfate therapy for eclampsia has been reported.
Overdosage:
Overdosage magnesium intoxication is manifested by a sharp drop in blood pressure and respiratory paralysis. disappearance of the patellar reflex is a useful clinical sign to detect the onset of magnesium intoxication. in the event of overdosage, artificial ventilation must be provided until a calcium salt can be injected intravenous to antagonize the effects of magnesium. for treatment of overdose artificial respiration is often required. intravenous calcium, 10 ml to 20 ml of a 5% solution (diluted if desirable) with isotonic sodium chloride for injection) is used to counteract effects of hypermagnesemia. subcutaneous physostigmine, 0.5 mg to 1 mg may be helpful. hypermagnesemia in the newborn may require resuscitation and assisted ventilation via endotracheal intubation or intermittent positive pressure ventilation as well as intravenous calcium.
Description:
Description magnesium sulfate in water for injection is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, clear and colorless solution of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, usp in water for injection, usp. may contain sulfuric acid and/or sodium hydroxide for ph adjustment. the ph is 4.5 (3.5 to 6.5). it is available in 4% concentration. see how supplied section for the content and characteristics of available dosage forms and sizes. magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is chemically designated as mgso 4 ⢠7h 2 o and its molecular weight is 246.5 g/mol and having below structural formula: magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, usp is white or almost white crystalline powder or brilliant colorless crystals which is freely soluble in water, very soluble in boiling water, practically insoluble in ethanol (96%). water for injection, usp is chemically designated h 2 o. the flexible plastic container is fabricated from a specially formulated non polyvinylchloride. 12
Clinical Pharmacology:
Clinical pharmacology magnesium (mg ++ ) is an important cofactor for enzymatic reactions and plays an important role in neurochemical transmission and muscular excitability. magnesium prevents or controls convulsions by blocking neuromuscular transmission and decreasing the amount of acetylcholine liberated at the end plate by the motor nerve impulse. magnesium is said to have a depressant effect on the central nervous system, but it does not adversely affect the mother, fetus or neonate when used as directed in eclampsia or pre-eclampsia. normal serum magnesium levels range from 1.3 meq/liter to 2.1 meq/liter. as serum magnesium rises above 4 meq/liter, the deep tendon reflexes are first decreased and then disappear as the serum level approaches 10 meq/liter. at this level respiratory paralysis may occur. heart block also may occur at this or lower serum levels of magnesium. magnesium acts peripherally to produce vasodilation. with low doses only flushing and sweating occur, but larg
