Abstract
Seventeen patients in whom uterine activity responded favorably to parenteral magnesium sulfate were given oral magnesium gluconate for continued tocolysis. The mean serum magnesium level before therapy was 1.44 +/- 0.22 mg/100 ml, whereas 2 hours after initiation of oral magnesium it was 2.16 +/- 0.32 mg/100 ml (p less than 0.05). One patient had nausea without vomiting or diarrhea. These data suggest that magnesium ingested orally can raise the serum magnesium level significantly.Entities:
