| sodium carbonate | Na2CO3-10H2O;used in the treatment of scaly skin diseases; otherwise rarely used in medicine because of its irritant action. Synonym: sal soda, soda, washing soda. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sodium hydrogen carbonate | <chemical> Carbonic acid monosodium salt (CHNaO3). A white, crystalline powder that is used as an electrolyte replenisher and systemic alkaliser. It is applied topically in solution to wash the nose, mouth, or vagina, and as a cleansing enema. Pharmacologic action: Acid neutralization. Uses: Preexisting metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, tricyclic or phenobarbital overdose. Dose in mEq: 0.3 * (base deficit) * (wt in kg). Potential complications: Metabolic alkalosis, hypercarbia, hyperosmolar state. Note: Since HCO3- does not cross cell membranes and CO2 does, the administration of bicarbonate may actually make tissues more acidotic. Chemical name: Carbonic acid monosodium salt. (12 Mar 2000) |
| dihydroxyaluminum sodium carbonate | Aluminum sodium carbonate hydroxide;a gastric antacid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lead carbonate | A heavy white powder that is insoluble in water; occasionally, it is used to relieve irritation in dermatitis, but it is used largely in the manufacture of paint and in the arts and is thus productive of lead poisoning. Synonym: ceruse, white lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lithium carbonate | This compound is used to treat manic depression. (09 Oct 1997) |
| aluminum magnesium silicate | An antacid. Synonym: aluminum magnesium silicate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium magnesium-atpase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of ATP and is activated by millimolar concentrations of either calcium or magnesium. Unlike calcium-transporting atpase it does not require the second divalent cation for its activity, and is not sensitive to orthovanadate. Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium magnesium dependent endodeoxyribonuclease | <enzyme> Similar in action but different from dnase i Registry number: EC 3.1.21.- Synonym: ca mg dnase, ca(2+)+mg(2+) dnase, calcium-magnesium endonuclease, ca-mg endonuclease (26 Jun 1999) |
| magnesium | <chemical, element> An essential divalent cation. The major role is as the chelated ion in ATP and presumably other triphosphonucleotides. The magnesium ATP complex is the sole biologically active form of ATP. The other essential role of magnesium is as the central ion of chlorophyll. Cellular concentration is less than 5mM. Serum concentration approximately 1mM. Pharmacologic action: Hypomagnesemia can cause refractory ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. Uses: known hypomagnesemic states - suspect hypomagnesmia in alcoholics, chronic disease states, or others with poor nutrition; treatment of choice for Torsade de Pointes. Dose: 1-2 grams IV push for cardiac arrest, over 1 to 2 minutes for Torsades, and over 5 to 60 minutes for acute myocardial infarction. Potential complications: Transient flushing and diaphoresis, sinus bradycardia, hypotension, hyporeflexia and paralysis with overdose. Abbreviation: Mg (15 Mar 2000) |
| magnesium aluminum silicate | An antacid. Synonym: aluminum magnesium silicate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| magnesium bacteriopheophytinate | <microbiology, plant biology> Varieties of chlorophyll (bacteriochlorophylls a, b, c, d, e and g) found in photosynthetic bacteria and differing from plant chlorophyll in the substituents around the tetrapyrrole nucleus of the molecule and in the absorption spectra. (18 Nov 1997) |
| magnesium benzoate | Has been used in gout and rheumatoid arthritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| magnesium-bicarbonate ATPase | <enzyme> Aspect of EC 3.6.1.3 Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- Synonym: mg-hco3-atpase, atpase, magnesium-bicarbonate (26 Jun 1999) |
| magnesium chelatase | <enzyme> Catalyses the first committed step in chlorophyll biosynthesis by adding magnesium to protoporphyrin ix Registry number: EC 4.99.1- Synonym: mg-chelatase, magnesium-protoporphyrin chelatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| magnesium chloride | <chemical> Magnesium chloride. An inorganic compound consisting of one magnesium and two chloride ions. The compound is used in medicine as a source of magnesium ions, which are essential for many cellular activities. It has also been used as a cathartic and in alloys. Chemical name: Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) (12 Dec 1998) |
