Magnesium sulfate has two functions: external use and internal use:
1, external use, such as obvious eczema, traumatic edema, inflammation, external use of magnesium sulfate can play a role in convergence, anti-inflammatory and detumescence.
2. Oral magnesium sulfate can improve potassium ion metabolism. For intractable hypokalemia, magnesium sulfate can improve potassium ion metabolism after intravenous injection or oral administration, which has a great effect on potassium ion increase and function improvement. In addition, magnesium sulfate can dilate smooth muscle and has a certain antihypertensive effect, especially for purpura caused by pregnancy-induced hypertension. Magnesium sulfate is a traditional medicine.
Matters needing attention in the use of magnesium sulfate
1, if a large amount of solution with too high concentration is ingested during catharsis, a large amount of water may be absorbed from the tissue, leading to dehydration. There are ulcers and crevasses in the gastrointestinal tract, which easily lead to a large number of magnesium ions being absorbed and causing poisoning. This product is prohibited for patients with intestinal bleeding, patients with acute abdomen, pregnant women and menstrual women.
2. It should be noted that intravenous magnesium sulfate often causes flushing, sweating, dry mouth and other symptoms. Rapid intravenous injection can cause nausea, vomiting, palpitation and dizziness, and individual nystagmus can disappear.
3, myocardial damage, respiratory diseases, severe renal insufficiency, heart block should be used with caution or not.
4, renal insufficiency, should reduce the injection dose, prohibit anuria, because it can lead to magnesium ion accumulation poisoning.
