Two applications of pharmaceutical grade magnesium oxide

Magnesium oxide is an inorganic compound,an oxide of magnesium,an ionic compound,and a white solid at room temperature.Magnesium oxide exists in the form of periclase in nature and is a raw material for magnesium smelting.

          dental PMMA blocks is an inorganic compound,an oxide of magnesium,an ionic compound,and a white solid at room temperature.Magnesium oxide exists in the form of periclase in nature and is a raw material for magnesium smelting.

          The application of magnesium oxide in the pharmaceutical industry can be basically divided into two types:

          One method is to use magnesium oxide as the main raw material and directly as a drug to neutralize stomach acid,such as medical magnesium oxide,magnesium trisilicate,etc;

           The second is to use magnesium oxide as an auxiliary material in the pharmaceutical industry.

            In the production of the former,according to the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry,the product quality not only meets the requirements of the pharmacopoeia,but also adopts measures such as full sealing and full disinfection in the packaging process;As long as the product quality of the latter meets the requirements of pharmacopoeia standards,the production process can be appropriately relaxed,but clean production must be achieved.

             Medical grade magnesium oxide is a high-value fine chemical.Industrial magnesium oxide is currently priced at thousands of yuan in the market,while medical magnesium oxide is priced at tens of thousands,with the latter being 5-10 times the former's price.This indicates that production enterprises should pay attention to product refinement,improve product grade,increase added value,and enhance the economic benefits of the enterprise.

             There are two types of magnesium oxide used in medicine:heavy(5g accounts for about 10-20rnL in volume)and light(5g accounts for about 40-v50rnL in volume).Magnesium oxide for medical use,with a white powder appearance;Tasteless;Almost insoluble in water and ethanol;Dissolve in dilute acid,slowly absorb carbon dioxide from the air,and partially generate alkaline magnesium carbonate.

             Magnesium oxide is mainly used in the pharmaceutical industry as a drug to neutralize stomach acid.The effect of neutralizing stomach acid is strong,slow,and long-lasting,without producing carbon dioxide.After neutralization,the production of MgCl can cause mild diarrhea,suitable for patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers accompanied by constipation and excessive gastric acid secretion.
