(1) In medicine, magnesium sulfate can inhibit the central nervous system, relax skeletal muscles, and have sedative, anti spastic, and intracranial pressure reducing effects. Commonly used to treat convulsions, eclampsia, uremia, tetanus, and hypertensive encephalopathy. When using, attention should be paid to observing the patient's breathing and blood pressure. Magnesium sulfate with knee reflex retardation is widely used in leather making, explosives, paper making, porcelain, fertilizers, etc. The most important thing is that it can also be used in medicine. Today, I would like to share with you the uses of magnesium sulfate in medicine.

(2) In medicine, magnesium sulfate can inhibit the central nervous system, relax skeletal muscles, and have sedative, anti spastic, and intracranial pressure reducing effects. Commonly used to treat convulsions, eclampsia, uremia, tetanus, and hypertensive encephalopathy. When using, attention should be paid to observing the patient's breathing and blood pressure. Delayed knee reflexes are an important sign of sufficient magnesium ions.

(3) Magnesium plays an extremely important role in the metabolism of sugars and proteins. If children during their growth and development have digestive disorders, they should be supplemented with magnesium salts.

(4) Magnesium has many physiological functions similar to potassium. Because the clinical phenomenon of magnesium deficiency is similar to potassium deficiency, magnesium deficiency is often overlooked. However, when symptoms do not improve after potassium supplementation during potassium deficiency, the possibility of magnesium deficiency should be considered first in order to promptly correct hypomagnesemia..

(5) When patients with cardiac insufficiency use digitalis, magnesium salts can be appropriately supplemented to prevent low magnesium from exacerbating the toxicity of digitalis.

(6) Oral magnesium sulfate is rarely absorbed in the intestine, so it does not have the aforementioned effects. But oral magnesium sulfate has good cathartic function, so magnesium sulfate is also called laxative salt. After oral magnesium sulfate aqueous solution reaches the intestinal cavity, it has a certain osmotic pressure to prevent intestinal water from being absorbed by the intestinal wall. The intestines retain a large amount of water, which can mechanically stimulate intestinal peristalsis and defecate. Therefore, magnesium sulfate can be used to treat constipation and abnormal intestinal fermentation; When used in combination with insect repellents, intestinal worms can be easily expelled. Usage: Dissolve 5-20 grams of magnesium sulfate in 100-400 milliliters of warm water each time, and take orally once in the morning. The concentration should not be too high, preferably 5%, otherwise defecation will be delayed.

(7) Magnesium sulfate can stimulate the duodenal mucosa, reflexively causing relaxation of the common bile duct sphincter and contraction of the gallbladder, thereby promoting gallbladder emptying, and has a cholagogic effect. It can be used to treat cholecystitis and gallstones.

(8) Reduce inflammation and swelling. Magnesium sulfate powder can be applied externally to reduce swelling, treat swelling after limb trauma, and help improve rough skin.
