Name：Magnesium sulfate
CAS：10034-99-8
Molecular formula：MgSO4.7(H2O)
Function：
Laxative effect
- After being taken orally, magnesium sulfate is not easily absorbed by the intestinal tract. It will increase the osmotic pressure in the intestinal cavity and prevent the absorption of water in the intestinal tract. As a result, the contents in the intestine increase, stimulating intestinal peristalsis and causing defecation. It can be used to treat diseases such as constipation and intestinal obstruction in animals.
Cholagogic effect
- Magnesium sulfate can stimulate the mucosa of the duodenum, and reflexively cause the relaxation of the sphincter of the common bile duct and the contraction of the gallbladder, promoting the excretion of bile. It can be used to treat diseases such as cholecystitis and cholangitis.
Anticonvulsant effect
- Magnesium ions can inhibit the central nervous system, reduce the release of acetylcholine at the endings of motor nerves, and block the conduction of the neuromuscular junction, thus playing an anticonvulsant role. It can be used to treat convulsions caused by diseases such as tetanus, eclampsia, and epilepsy in animals.
Sedative effect
- Magnesium sulfate can inhibit the excitability of the central nervous system, making animals calm and sedate. It can be used to relieve the tension, anxiety and other emotions of animals.
External swelling reduction
- When magnesium sulfate is used externally, its hypertonic solution can draw out the edema fluid in the local tissue, playing the role of reducing swelling and relieving pain. It is often used to treat local swelling caused by injuries, inflammations and other conditions in animals.
