B. Braun announces nationwide availability of domestically made Magnesium Sulfate products

December 9, 2021  –  B. Braun Medical Inc. (Bethlehem, PA) unveiled a portfolio of Magnesium Sulfate ready-to-use injectable drug products.

The company says that its decision to manufacture the Magnesium Sulfate products in Irvine, California, will help ensure the reliable supply of a leading drug for the prevention and control of the seizures associated with preeclampsia and eclampsia.

“Preeclampsia and eclampsia put pregnant women and their babies at risk of preterm birth, serious complications or death,” said Angela Karpf, M.D., Corporate Vice President of Medical Affairs at B. Braun. “Magnesium Sulfate is a proven treatment for seizures associated with preeclampsia and eclampsia but is prone to drug shortages. B. Braun’s ready-to-use products are designed to reduce medication errors and improve efficiencies. Our reliable supply of Magnesium Sulfate products will support providers by ensuring availability when their patients need it.”

Features of B. Braun’s Magnesium Sulfate product include:

  • Domestically manufactured and sourced: In addition to being manufactured in Irvine, California, B. Braun’s Magnesium Sulfate products are produced with American-made active pharmaceutical ingredients, helping ensure consistent supply levels.
  • Safe infusion bags: B. Braun’s Partial Additive Bag (PAB) is not made with rubber latex, PVC or DEHP – compounds that can be harmful to mothers and infants, according to a 2020 report from Health Care without Harm.3 Notably, B. Braun made the decision to eliminate the use of PVC and DEHP in its IV Infusion bags more than forty years ago and today remains the only full-line supplier of PVC and DEHP-free IV containers.
  • Eco-friendly Packaging: B. Braun’s Magnesium Sulfate products do not require an overwrap like other ready-to-use Magnesium Sulfate pre-mixed bags, reducing landfill waste.
  • Ready-to-Use Pre-Mixed Bags: Doses include Magnesium Sulfate in 5% Dextrose, 1 g/100 mL, Magnesium Sulfate in Water, 2 g/50 mL, Magnesium Sulfate in Water, 4 g/50 mL, and Magnesium Sulfate in Water, 4 g/100 mL.
