Sodium sulfate decahydrate is listed in the British
Pharmacopoeia as having the action and use of a laxative, and it is
recorded as complying with the requirements of the third edition of
the European Pharmacopoeia (Department of Health, 1993, 1996).
Sodium sulfate decahydrate and its anhydrous salt are listed in
Martindale's Pharmacopoeia, and the laxative use is noted; another
medical use recorded is in the treatment of severe hypercalcaemia, in
which it is given by slow intravenous administration of a 3.9% aqueous
solution. It is also used as a diluent for food colours (Reynolds,
1996).
