Magnesiumsulfaat Teva (Magnesium Sulfate)

Magnesium sulfate, the active ingredient in Magnesiumsulfaat Teva, is an electrolyte/mineral supplement presented as an injection solution for intravenous use. It is employed to treat magnesium deficiency, prevent and treat eclampsia, manage severe preeclampsia, and address certain cardiac arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes.

GNH India supplies Magnesiumsulfaat Teva as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Indications & Clinical Uses

Magnesium sulfate is used in obstetric, cardiac and electrolyte‑replacement contexts.

  • Eclampsia: prevents and treats seizures associated with eclampsia.
  • Severe preeclampsia: reduces progression to eclampsia and stabilises blood pressure.
  • Magnesium deficiency: restores normal serum magnesium concentrations.
  • Torsades de pointes: stabilises cardiac repolarisation to terminate the arrhythmia.
  • Bronchospasm: relaxes bronchial smooth muscle to improve airflow.

How It Works

  • Magnesium sulfate supplies magnesium ions that act as calcium antagonists, competing at voltage‑gated calcium channels and reducing intracellular calcium influx. This stabilises cell membranes, diminishes neuromuscular excitability, relaxes smooth muscle, and attenuates vasospasm, thereby providing anticonvulsant, vasodilatory and anti‑arrhythmic effects.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions to magnesium sulfate may range from mild to life‑threatening.

Common Side Effects

  • Flushing: sensation of warmth and redness.
  • Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset.
  • Dizziness: transient light‑headedness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Respiratory depression: reduced breathing effort.
  • Cardiac arrest: severe arrhythmia leading to loss of cardiac output.
  • Hypermagnesemia: excessive serum magnesium causing muscle weakness and loss of deep‑tendon reflexes.

Precautions & Warnings

Magnesium sulfate requires careful monitoring to avoid toxicity and interactions.

  • Monitor serum magnesium levels: adjust infusion to keep within therapeutic range.
  • Assess renal function: impaired clearance increases risk of accumulation.
  • Use cautiously in myasthenia gravis: may exacerbate muscle weakness.
  • Avoid rapid IV bolus in patients with heart block: risk of arrhythmia.
  • Discontinue if signs of hypermagnesemia appear: such as loss of deep‑tendon reflexes.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Magnesium sulfate can interact with several drug classes, requiring vigilance.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Calcium‑containing solutions: antagonistic effect reduces magnesium efficacy.
  • Neuromuscular blocking agents (e.g., succinylcholine, non‑depolarizing blockers): potentiated blockade leading to prolonged paralysis.
  • Aminoglycoside antibiotics: increased risk of neuromuscular weakness.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Loop diuretics: may increase urinary magnesium loss.
  • ACE inhibitors or ARBs: can augment hypermagnesemia.
  • Antihypertensives (e.g., nifedipine): additive vasodilatory effect may cause hypotension.

Frequently Asked Questions

Magnesiumsulfaat Teva is an intravenous magnesium sulfate preparation used to correct magnesium deficiency, prevent and treat seizures in eclampsia, manage severe preeclampsia, and stabilize certain cardiac arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes. It may also be employed in acute bronchospasm to relax airway smooth muscle.

Magnesium sulfate provides magnesium ions that act as calcium antagonists at voltage‑gated channels. By limiting calcium entry into cells, it stabilises neuronal membranes, reduces neuromuscular excitability, relaxes smooth muscle, and diminishes vasospasm, which together produce anticonvulsant, vasodilatory and anti‑arrhythmic effects.

The dose of Magnesiumsulfaat Teva is set by the prescribing clinician based on the specific indication, the patient’s weight, renal function, and serum magnesium levels. Dosage regimens are individualized and may be adjusted during therapy to maintain therapeutic concentrations while avoiding toxicity.

Magnesium sulfate is frequently used in obstetric care, particularly for eclampsia and severe preeclampsia, under close medical supervision. While the pregnancy category is listed as unknown, its benefits in these emergencies often outweigh potential risks. Breastfeeding mothers should discuss use with their healthcare provider.

To order Magnesiumsulfaat Teva, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain if needed) and necessary import documentation.

For obstetric seizures, magnesium sulfate is preferred over agents such as diazepam because it directly addresses the underlying calcium‑mediated excitability and has a well‑established safety profile. In cardiac arrhythmias, it offers a unique mechanism compared with anti‑arrhythmic drugs like lidocaine, making it useful when other agents are contraindicated.

Magnesiumsulfaat Teva should be stored at 2‑8 °C in a refrigerator. Keep the vial in its original packaging, protect it from light, and avoid freezing or shaking the solution. Do not store at ambient temperature, as temperature excursions may affect stability.

The product is given by intravenous injection or infusion. Administration may begin with a loading dose followed by a maintenance infusion, with the rate adjusted according to clinical response and serum magnesium monitoring. Infusion should be performed using aseptic technique and appropriate IV equipment.

The most critical adverse events include respiratory depression, cardiac arrest due to severe arrhythmia, and hypermagnesemia leading to loss of deep‑tendon reflexes and muscle weakness. Early detection of these signs through continuous monitoring is essential to prevent life‑threatening complications.

Magnesiumsulfaat Teva is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to magnesium sulfate, severe renal impairment that prevents magnesium excretion, myasthenia gravis, and certain types of heart block where magnesium may exacerbate conduction abnormalities.
