REPORT DESCRIPTION
Magnesium sulfate (anhydrous) is an inorganic salt made up of magnesium, oxygen, and sulfur. The molecular formula of
magnesium sulfate is MgSO4. Magnesium sulfate is also known as Epsom salt (heptahydrate), English salt, and Bitter salt.
Magnesium sulfate also occurs in hydrated forms, including monohydrate and heptahydrate. The monohydrate and heptahydrate
forms contain one and seven H2O molecules, respectively. Magnesium sulfate is commonly encountered as the heptahydrate sulfate
mineral epsomite.
It is usually called as Epsom salt. Magnesium sulfate exists as white crystalline solid. Magnesium sulfate shows very high solubility in
water. Magnesium sulfate is odorless. Magnesium sulfate can be prepared artificially by neutralizing sulfuric acid with magnesium
carbonate or oxide to obtain the heptahydrate form, but it is usually obtained directly from natural sources. The only known method
for preparing anhydrous magnesium sulfate is by the dehydration of a hydrate.

In gardening and other agriculture processes, magnesium sulfate plays an important role to correct magnesium or sulfur deficiency in
soil. Magnesium sulfate is important component of various fertilizers. Magnesium is an essential element in the chlorophyll molecule,
and sulfur is another important micronutrient. Magnesium sulfate is also effective in the removal of splinters. Magnesium sulfate is an
effective anticonvulsant drug. Magnesium sulfate is well known for its application as most effective, low cost, and safe treatment
available for severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Magnesium sulfate also has ability to act as a vasodilator, having actions which
relieve vasoconstriction, decrease cerebral edema formation, protect the blood-brain barrier, and act as a cerebral anticonvulsant.
Magnesium sulfate can be administered either intravenously or intramuscularly.
Magnesium sulfate is the main preparation of intravenous magnesium. Magnesium sulfate plays an important role to increase water
content in the intestines. Magnesium sulfate is can also preferably used as a laxative to relieve occasional constipation. Anhydrous
magnesium sulfate exhibits features, which make it a suitable drying agent. The anhydrous magnesium sulfate form is hygroscopic
