AB  - Magnesium  (Mg)  is  a  divalent  cation  that  is  required  for  a  variety  of  intracellular  processes  and  is  an  essential  ion  for  proper  neuromuscular  functioning.  Oral  magnesium  salts  are  widely  available  in  over-the-counter  antacids  (eg,  Maalox  and  Mylanta)  and  cathartics  (milk  of  magnesia  and  magnesium  citrate  and  sulfate).  IV  magnesium  sulfate  is  used  to  treat  toxemia  of  pregnancy,  polymorphous  ventricular  tachycardia,  refractory  ventricular  arrhythmias,  and  severe  bronchospasm.
