Details and Features:

Concentration: 200 mg/mL magnesium chloride
Formulation: Sterile, preservative-free, and non-pyrogenic solution
Packaging: 50 mL multi-dose vial for extended utility and reduced waste

Mechanism of Action:

Magnesium is a crucial cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions within the human body, including those involved in protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation. In the case of magnesium chloride, the compound effectively dissociates into magnesium ions in the bloodstream, readily participating in biochemical processes. It helps stabilize excitable membranes, counteract neuromuscular irritability, and manage cardiac arrhythmias by influencing the transfer of calcium, potassium, and sodium across cell membranes.

Directions for Use:

1. Inspect the vial for particulate matter and discoloration before use.
2. Administer intravenously or intramuscularly under strict aseptic conditions only, as per healthcare provider instructions.
3. Dosage will be determined based on individual patient needs, clinical condition, and institutional guidelines.
