The patient apparently was placed on IV magnesium sulfate to prevent seizures (eclampsia). I can't think of any other reason. I'm sure it was not intended as a tocolytic. Now, what would be the objective for the use of oral MgSO4 at home? This has been tried as a maintenance tocolytic without any significant benefit. I'm not aware of its use (orally) to prevent or treat eclampsia. Do you have any information (well designed studies)??

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
