Magnesium Sulfate - PubChem

Magnesium Sulfate - Compound Summary (CID 24083) Also known as: Magnesium sulphate, Epsom salts, Magnesium sulfate anhydrous, Sal catharticum, Sal seidlitense, Bitter salt, Sal anglicum, Epsom salt Molecular Formula: MgO₄S Molecular Weight: 120.3676 InChIKey: CSNNHWWHGAXBCP-UHFFFAOYSA-L A small colorless crystal used as an anticonvulsant, a cathartic, and an electrolyte replenisher in the treatment of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. It causes direct inhibition of action potentials in myometrial muscle cells. Excitation and contraction are uncoupled, which decreases the frequency and force of contractions.
