| starting_dose = Replacement oxide 400-800 mg/d in divided doses (high diarrhea rate); citrate 200-400 mg/d (better tolerated, better absorbed); IV sulfate 1-2 g over 5-60 minutes for hypomagnesemia or torsades; eclampsia 4-6 g IV loading then 1-2 g/h
| preparations = Oxide 400, 500 mg tablets (240, 300 mg elemental); citrate 100, 150, 200 mg tablets; hydroxide oral suspension 400 mg/5 mL; sulfate IV 500 mg/mL ampules

| routes = Oral, IV
| onset = Oral: hours; IV: minutes
| duration = Variable
| halflife = Not meaningfully described (electrolyte; renally cleared)
| bioavailability = Highly salt-dependent: citrate ~25-30%; oxide ~4% (limited and causes osmotic diarrhea); chloride ~12%
| pregnancy = IV sulfate is the cornerstone of eclampsia/preeclampsia management; oral replacement also safe.{{citation needed}}
| legal = OTC (oral salts) and [[USLegal:Prescription only|Rx-only]] (IV) in US
| mechanism = <vote slug="magnesium-mech-claim">Magnesium is essential for ~300 enzyme reactions including ATP-dependent processes (ATP-Mg complex is the bioactive form), competes with calcium at L-type voltage-gated channels (membrane stabilization, the basis of IV use in torsades and eclampsia seizure prevention), and modulates NMDA glutamate receptor activity.</vote> Renally cleared; accumulation in advanced CKD can produce neuromuscular and cardiac depression. Hypomagnesemia frequently co-exists with hypokalemia and is often the reason refractory potassium loss does not correct until magnesium is repleted.
