Abstract
Magnesium sulfate is commonly used as the anticonvulsant drug of choice for preeclampsia and eclampsia. It is effective, nontoxic to both mother and fetus, and side effects are rare within the therapeutic range. This report describes paroxysmal atrial fibrillation occurring at low serum levels of the drug during the treatment of preeclampsia.
