Magnesium sulfate is typically used in the hospital to treat or prevent low magnesium levels. It's also used to prevent and manage seizures in preeclampsia-eclampsia (a complication of pregnancy). Additionally, magnesium sulfate may be used for other conditions. It's a generally well-tolerated medication and usually given as an injection by a healthcare provider.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
