Magnesium sulfate, 1M aq. soln.

Description

CAS: 7487-88-9 | MgO4S | 120.36 g/mol

Magnesium sulfate is applied in replacement therapy for hypomagnesemia. It can be used orally as a laxative to relieve occasional constipation, and to treat low levels of magnesium. It works by replacing magnesium in the body and increasing water in the intestines. It is the first-line antiarrhythmic agent for torsades de pointes in cardiac arrest under the 2005 ECC guidelines and for managing quinidine-induced arrhythmias. It is effective in decreasing the risk that pre-eclampsia progresses to eclampsia.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
