| generic | String | Magnesium (oxide, citrate, sulfate, hydroxide, gluconate, chloride salts) |
| brand | String | Mag-Ox, Slow-Mag, MagCitrate, Milk of Magnesia (hydroxide); IV sulfate generic |

| mechanism | String | '"`UNIQ--vote-00001302-QINU`"' 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. |

| starting_dose | String | 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 | String | 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 |
| fda_max | String | Indication-specific; renal clearance limits tolerable cumulative dosing |
| pill_id | Text | |
| routes | List of String, delimiter: , | Oral • IV |
| onset | String | Oral: hours; IV: minutes |
| duration | String | Variable |
| halflife | String | Not meaningfully described (electrolyte; renally cleared) |
| bioavailability | String | Highly salt-dependent: citrate ~25-30%; oxide ~4% (limited and causes osmotic diarrhea); chloride ~12% |
| pregnancy | String | IV sulfate is the cornerstone of eclampsia/preeclampsia management; oral replacement also safe.<sup class="pcp-cn" title="This claim needs a citation.">[[[Pharmacopedia:Citation needed|citation needed]]]</sup> |
| legal | String | OTC (oral salts) and [[USLegal:Prescription only|Rx-only]] (IV) in US |
