Saline cathartic and antiarrhythmic. Magnesium sulfate when administered orally acts to draw water into the small intestine via an osmotic effect. Fluid accumulation produces distension, which promotes bowel evacuation. It is used as a replacement for magnesium in patients who are deficient. When used as an antiarrhythmic it serves as a source of magnesium for treating refractory arrhythmias because in animals with hypomagnesemia it acts as a cofactor for the Na/K ATPase pump. It also may block calcium channels.
Magnesium sulfate is used for constipation and bowel evacuation prior to certain procedures. An injectable solution of magnesium sulfate is used to treat refractory arrhythmias in patients who are critically ill. In horses magnesium sulfate is administered for ventricular tachycardia that is not responsive to other drugs. In cattle, magnesium sulfate is used to treat hypomagnesemia, especially in dairy cattle.
