Actions and Spectrum:Â
Frequency not definedÂ
Contraindications/caution:Â
Contraindications:Â
magnesium salicylate is contraindicated in certain situations and individuals, including:Â
Caution:Â
Several cautions should be taken into account when using magnesium salicylate, including:Â
Pregnancy consideration: CÂ
Lactation: Excretion of the drug in human breast milk is knownÂ
Pregnancy category:Â
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.  Â
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.Â
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.   Â
Category D: adequate data available with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.   Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.   Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this categoryÂ
Pharmacology:Â
Pharmacodynamics:Â
Pharmacokinetics:Â
AbsorptionÂ
magnesium salicylate is absorbed rapidly, with a peak plasma time of approximately 1.5 hours for its active metabolite, salicylic acid. Â
DistributionÂ
magnesium salicylate is highly protein-bound, with 50-90% of the drug binding to plasma proteins. Â
MetabolismÂ
magnesium salicylate is converted to salicylic acid in the bloodstream, which is then metabolized to salicyluric acid and salicyl phenolic glucuronide by enzymes in the liver. Â
Elimination and ExcretionÂ
The half-life of salicylic acid, the active metabolite of magnesium salicylate, is approximately 2 hours. The drug is eliminated primarily through the urineÂ
Administration:Â
magnesium salicylate is typically administered orally in tablets, capsules, or liquid suspension. The medication is usually taken with food or milk to reduce the risk of stomach upset.
The dose and frequency of magnesium salicylate administration will depend on the treatment condition, the patient’s age and weight, and other factors.Â
