title: The effect of magnesium sulfate on the absorption of acetylsalicylic acid and lithium carbonate from the human intestine.
abstract: Magnesium sulfate given orally in a hypertonic or isotonic solution did not alter the absorption of therapeutic doses of acetylsalicylic acid or lithium carbonate, despite a purgative effect in 10 volunteers. The concentration of magnesium in serum remained unchanged during the experiments.
