Intravenous fluids - Intravenous fluids work by dilution of the extracellular magnesium. Fluids are employed with diuretics to promote increased excretion of magnesium by the kidney. Both fluids are essentially isotonic, and, while some differences exist between metabolic changes observed with the administration of large quantities of either fluid, the differences are clinically irrelevant for the purpose of promoting diuresis. Mineral supplements - Calcium directly antagonizes the effects of magnesium. Pregnancy B - Usually safe but benefits must outweigh the risks.
Patients do well upon restoration of normal magnesium levels.
