USP-grade anhydrous magnesium carbonate is used as a flavor impression intensification vehicle in the processed food industry (see Flavors and spices). Basic magnesium carbonates are used as free flowing agents in the manufacture of table salt, as a hulking agent in powder and tablet pharmaceutical formulations, as an antacid, and in a variety of personal care products (see Pharmaceuticals).

Magnesium sulfate can be prepared by neutralizing sulfuric acid with magnesium carbonate, or from natural soimces as the mineral kieserite, for the monohydrate form, and epsomite, for the heptahydrate form. It is an effective and widely used saline laxative. The laxative action probably results from two factors. The first is that the magnesium sulfate is not absorbed from the intestinal tract and thus retains sufficient water within the liunen of the bowel to make an isotonic solution. The second is that the magnesimn ion stimulates the release of cholecystokinin-pancreozymin which causes an accumulation of fluid and electrolytes within the small intestine. Magnesium Sulfate Injection USP is also used as a parenteral anticonvulsant. [Pg.406]
