Magnesium Sulphate Injection

Description

Product Description: Magnesium Sulfate Injection is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution containing magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, a mineral supplement essential for various physiological functions. It is formulated for intravenous or intramuscular administration to correct magnesium deficiency and manage associated conditions. Manufactured to stringent quality standards, Magnesium Sulfate Injection offers vital support for maintaining electrolyte balance and proper neuromuscular function.

Indications and Usage: Magnesium Sulfate Injection is indicated for the treatment and prevention of hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels) in patients with magnesium deficiency due to inadequate intake, gastrointestinal losses, or other medical conditions. It is also used in obstetric care to prevent and manage seizures associated with preeclampsia and eclampsia.

Dosage and Administration: The dosage of Magnesium Sulfate Injection varies depending on the patient's magnesium level, clinical condition, and route of administration. It is typically administered via intravenous infusion or intramuscular injection under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The recommended dosage regimen should be individualized based on the patient's response to therapy and monitored closely for efficacy and safety.

Dosage Forms and Strengths: Magnesium Sulfate Injection is available as a sterile solution in vials or ampules containing specific concentrations of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate formulated for intravenous or intramuscular administration. Each container is carefully labeled with the magnesium concentration to ensure accurate dosing and optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Contraindications: This product is contraindicated in patients with hypermagnesemia (high magnesium levels), severe renal impairment, or heart block. It should not be used in patients with myasthenia gravis or hypersensitivity to magnesium sulfate or any of the excipients. Additionally, caution should be exercised in patients with impaired renal function, as magnesium excretion may be reduced, leading to toxicity.

Warnings and Precautions: Healthcare providers should exercise caution when administering Magnesium Sulfate Injection to patients with impaired renal function, as excessive magnesium supplementation may lead to hypermagnesemia and cardiac arrest. Electrolyte levels, including magnesium, should be monitored regularly during therapy. Intravenous infusion of magnesium sulfate should be administered slowly and diluted appropriately to minimize the risk of infusion-related adverse reactions.

Adverse Reactions/Side Effects: Common adverse reactions associated with Magnesium Sulfate Injection include flushing, sweating, hypotension, and bradycardia. Excessive magnesium supplementation may cause muscle weakness, respiratory depression, and cardiac arrhythmias. Patients should be monitored closely for signs of magnesium toxicity, including decreased reflexes and respiratory depression.

Drug Interactions: Magnesium Sulfate Injection may interact with certain medications, including neuromuscular blocking agents, calcium channel blockers, and digoxin. Healthcare providers should review the patient's medication profile carefully to identify potential drug interactions and adjust dosage as necessary to minimize risks.

Use In Specific Populations Description: Safety and efficacy of Magnesium Sulfate Injection in pediatric patients, pregnant women, and nursing mothers have not been established conclusively. Healthcare providers should assess the potential risks and benefits before prescribing this medication in these populations.

How Supplied/Storage and Handling: Magnesium Sulfate Injection is supplied as a sterile solution in vials or ampules for intravenous or intramuscular administration. It should be stored at controlled room temperature (20°C to 25°C) away from light and moisture. Care should be taken to ensure proper storage and handling to maintain the integrity of the product. Unused portions should be discarded according to standard procedures for biohazardous waste.
