Summary : MgSO
4 is routinely used in therapeutics despite its toxicity. The aim of the present review was to compare MgSO
4 and MgCl
2 effects in order to answer the question whether MgSO
4 could be or not replaced by MgCl
2. Considering that the two salts have both similar and proper effects, a clear-cut conclusion is not easy to draw. However, choosing MgCl
2 seems advisable because of its more interesting clinical and pharmacological effects and its lower tissue toxicity as compared to MgSO
4. |
Keywords : chloride, magnesium, sulfate |
