Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We're here to help
Can Magnesium Sulfate Paste be used for drawing out splinters or boils?
Yes, Magnesium Sulfate Paste is commonly used to help draw out splinters, pus from boils, or minor skin infections due to its osmotic action. It works by reducing swelling and softening the skin, which encourages the foreign material to come to the surface.
Is Magnesium Sulfate Paste safe to use on broken skin?
Magnesium Sulfate Paste should not be applied directly to open or broken skin unless advised by a healthcare professional. Doing so can increase irritation or delay healing.
Can I use Magnesium Sulfate Paste while pregnant or breastfeeding?
While topical Magnesium Sulfate Paste is generally considered low risk, it’s best to consult with a GP or pharmacist before using it during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Hormonal changes during these stages can affect how your skin reacts to treatments.
How long should I leave Magnesium Sulfate Paste on the skin?
Typically, Magnesium Sulfate Paste should be applied to the affected area and covered with a dressing for around 6–10 hours, or as directed. This allows enough time for the drawing effect to work. Avoid using it continuously without breaks.
Can Magnesium Sulfate Paste interact with other topical treatments?
Magnesium Sulfate Paste is unlikely to interact with other medications when used on the skin, but combining it with strong corticosteroids or antiseptic creams may reduce effectiveness or cause irritation. To avoid issues, space out applications and consult a healthcare professional.
What should I do if I experience irritation from Magnesium Sulfate Paste?
If you notice redness, itching, or a burning sensation after using Magnesium Sulfate Paste, remove the paste immediately and wash the area with mild soap and water. Most reactions are mild, but if symptoms persist, speak to a pharmacist or GP
