Magnesium is intravenous.

Magnesia is a medicinal product that is used practically in all branches of medicine. It is used as a vasodilator and sedative.

Some time ago, the drug was used injectively into the muscle, but it was found that it can in such cases cause respiratory failure. Moreover, the introduction of the drug into the muscle is painful for patients and brings a lot of inconvenience. Therefore, magnesium is usually used intravenously. There is also a form of the drug for oral administration (powder form).

Magnesia is used intravenously to achieve a diuretic effect, in addition, it relaxes the musculature of the vascular wall and, accordingly, reduces pressure and normalizes the heart rhythm, removing the excited state.

It should be considered when introducing magnesia, which is often a case of drug overdose, leading to drowsiness, apathy and breathing. Magnesia is administered intravenously cautiously and slowly. In addition to all the above properties, this drug has a metabolic activity at the cellular level, due to which it has a very deep effect on the body.

Magnesia under pressure is used for the purpose of arresting hypertensive crisis or reducing vascular spasm in ischemia of mild degree. Due to all its positive properties, magnesium is used intravenously for the purpose of correcting blood pressure and preventing vasospasms in the elderly. Included in the drug magnesium contributes to the normalization of metabolic processes in cardiomyocytes, promotes the strengthening of cell membranes of the heart cells, thereby strengthening the heart muscle and becoming more resistant to stress.

The drug magnesia is quite effective in the occurrence of seizures in patients, tk. Magnesia blocks the transfer of impulses along nerve fibers.

Magnesia in gynecology is used mainly as a tocolytic and antispasmodic agent. After the administration of the drug, the blood flow in the uterus increases, the vessels dilate and the spasm is eliminated. Magnesia is an excellent preparation in the period of premenstrual syndrome. It not only eliminates spasm and pain, but also has a not expressed sedative effect. Thus, virtually all major symptoms are eliminated.

It must be remembered that magnesium is best not to be used during pregnancy, because It has embryotoxic and teratogenic effects. During pre-school training, it is best for women to abolish the introduction of magnesia at least a month.

The dose of the drug is prescribed taking into account the severity of the disease, the duration of the process and the age of the patient. It is necessary to individually select the dosage of the drug and observe its first administration, Allergic reactions are possible.

Despite its many positive properties, magnesia has a number of side effects:

- depression of the respiratory center;

- allergic reaction;

- arterial hypotension ;

- too strong sedative reaction, up to depression;

Hypermagnesium.

Therefore, there is a group of patients with which magnesium is contraindicated, or its purpose is unreasonable. It should also be borne in mind that magnesia enhances the effect of central-action drugs, and therefore patients with neurological pathology should be taken with caution. In addition, in combination with other antihypertensive drugs, magnesium also enhances the effect, so it is necessary to control the administration of these drugs in order to avoid hypotension.
