Osmotic laxatives are often used to cleanse the bowel before medical procedures.They base their action on the very little or nothing they are absorbed and by this means forcing the water to enter the intestine with the result of watery diarrhea.

CAS Number: 7447-40-7

Human milk has a potassium concentration of 13 meq/L, almost a half of rehydration solution content and a quarter of maximal IV recommended dose. Potassium supplementation does not alter milk concentration without increasing mother’s serum concentration, which is strictly limited from 3,5 to 5,5 meq/L.

El magnesio es un componente natural de la leche.Se utiliza en el tratamiento y profilaxis de la eclampsia y migraña (Pringsheim 2012), en la hipomagnesemia, en ciertas arritmias y como laxante osmótico. Su concentración en la leche es muy estable y depende poco de la alimentación y otros factores, incluida la administración de sulfato de magnesio a la madre: los niveles de magnesio en leche de madres tratadas con sulfato de magnesio intravenoso fueron de 6,4 mg/L frente a 4,8 mg/L en las no tratadas (Cruikshank 1982, Dorea 2000). Su baja biodisponibilidad oral dificulta el paso a plasma del lactante a partir de la leche materna ingerida (Morris 1987) y se considera seguro su uso durante la lactancia (Idama 1998). Se ha observado retraso en al lactogénesis II (subida de la leche) en mujeres tratadas con sulfato de magnesio antes o durante el parto para tratar o prevenir la eclampsia (Haldeman 1993) sí como hipotonía en los recién nacidos, lo que podría interferir en la estimulación mamaria adecuada (Riaz 1998) pero esto puede ser contrarrestado por una decisión materna firme y un apoyo eficaz a la madre (Cordero 2012). Academia Americana de Pediatría: medicación usualmente compatible con la lactancia.Listado de medicamentos esenciales OMS 2002: compatible con la lactancia.

Intravenous magnesium increases milk magnesium concentrations only slightly and oral absorption of magnesium by the infant is poor, so maternal magnesium therapy is not expected to affect the breastfed infant's serum magnesium. Although intravenous magnesium sulfate given prior to delivery might affect the infant's ability to breastfeed, intention to breastfeed may be a more important determinant of breastfeeding initiation.[1] Postpartum use of intravenous magnesium sulfate for longer than 6 hours appears to delay the onset of lactation.[2][3]
