I've been reading up on Magnesium Sulfate 50% Inj, 50ml. I know it's often used to treat low magnesium levels, but I've also heard it can be used to prevent seizures in pregnant women with preeclampsia or eclampsia. Has anyone here had experience with this medication? I'm curious about the side effects and how common they are. I've seen some scary lists online, but I'd love to hear from people who have actually used it. What was your experience like and what should I specifically be looking out for? How does it calm the nervous system and relax muscles?
