    Magnesium sulfate is used to treat seizures in pregnant women. A loading dose of 6 g IV over 20-30 minutes is recommended. A maintenance dose of 2-3 g IV per hour is then given. If seizures recur, an additional 2 g dose over 5-10 minutes may be given up to two times. Magnesium levels of 8-12 mg/dL can cause loss of patellar reflexes, while levels of 10-12 mg/dL may cause slurred speech, somnolence, or double vision. Higher levels of 15-17 mg/dL can lead to muscular paralysis or respiratory difficulty, and levels of 20-35 mg/dL risk cardiac arrest.
