Magnesium sulfate can be indicated in conditions of constipation.

• Magnesium sulfate is an inorganic compound with a molecular formula $MgSO_{4}$.
• Its use in constipation is due to its osmotic properties.
• The magnesium cation forms an insoluble salt in the gastric tract and retains much water, easing the cleansing of bowels.

• Magnesium sulfate is also an analgesic, antiarrhythmic drug.
• It also acts as a calcium channel blocker and is used in the treatment of epilepsy.

• It is also used as a fertilizer.
