Abstract :

Optimum dose, route and duration of magnesium sulfate prophylaxis has always been debatable in HDP .Our objective is to reduce the eclampsia incidence while dealing with low dose ,we compared the efficacy of 10 gram I.M. MgSO4 loading dose only versus conventional dose for seizure prophylaxis over 100 women . With mean age of 24.83 years , 58% being primigravida, none of the patients in both groups developed eclamptic seizures, atonic pph and oliguria was significantly low in low dose group with a p value <0.05 , no maternal mortality observed in both the groups . Neonatal outcomes were statistically insignificant . low dose 10 gram I.M. loading dose only may be considered as an effective alternative for eclampsia prophylaxis , for its potential use in low resource peripheral health centres. With minimal monitoring it can help to reduce maternal morbidity, mortality and improved neonatal outcome
