Magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) (4 g intravenously (IV) and then 1 g/h) halves the risk of recurrent
eclampsia [41,42]. Benzodiazepines should not be used for seizure termination unless the seizure is
prolonged and MgSO4 is not readily available in the treating unit. Recurrent seizures should be treated
with another 2e4-g IV dose. Serum Mg2þ levels are recommended only with a heightened risk of
magnesium toxicity, the most common being acute renal insufficiency.
