How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate 40% Oral Solution is a liquid medication formulated to treat a range of health conditions such as seizures, pre-eclampsia, and magnesium deficiency. The active ingredient, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in numerous bodily functions. When administered orally, this solution is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, supplying the body with the necessary magnesium.

In the context of seizures, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate functions by increasing the magnesium levels in the brain. This, in turn, helps to decrease the electrical activity that triggers seizures, thereby reducing their frequency and severity. This makes it a valuable tool in managing this condition.

For patients with pre-eclampsia, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is beneficial in reducing the risk of seizures and other complications associated with this condition. It achieves this by lowering the amount of calcium in the blood, which is instrumental in reducing the risk of seizures and other complications.

In cases of magnesium deficiency, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate serves to replenish the body's magnesium levels. By supplying the body with the necessary magnesium, it aids in restoring the body's magnesium levels to their optimal state.

It offers accurate dosing and convenient delivery of medication, making it particularly useful when a specific dosage strength or ease of swallowing is required. If you have any questions about this medication or its mechanism of action, please do not hesitate to reach out for more information.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
