Product Introduction

Magnesium Sulphate 500mg/mL Injection, 2mL is a magnesium salt injection used in supervised care for magnesium replacement and selected emergency or obstetric uses, including severe hypomagnesemia, seizure prevention in pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, and certain rhythm-related situations when clinically indicated. It can affect nerve, muscle, vascular, and cardiac conduction, so dosing must be controlled carefully. Warning signs include flushing, sweating, low blood pressure, weakness, loss of reflexes, slow breathing, confusion, and cardiac conduction problems. Calcium gluconate may be used as an antidote in toxicity settings.
