n this paper the author will talk about magnesium dietary
supplement and its use in the management of certain
disease states in an emergency setting. A literature search
of PubMed, Google search and Scopus using key words such
as magnesium, supplement, magnesium citrate, chloride,
lactate or aspartate migraine, and torsades de pointes
were conducted in January 2017. There was no exception
made to limit inclusion of relevant clinical trials and the
trials referenced were not published yet. Magnesium is
an essential electrolyte regulating a myriad of metabolic
processes. Besides replenishing hypomagnesaemia levels,
Mg is also used in the management of Torsades de pointes
(Tdp), eclampsia and severe asthma exacerbations in the
emergency setting. However, clinical justification for the use
of Mg supplement in treatment of migraines and alcohol
withdrawal syndrome remains inconclusive. Consideration
for Mg supplementation use including pharmacology, dose,
and adverse effects are discussed in this article. However, the
use is based on practitioner’s choice and requires validated
randomized controlled studies to establish dose regimens.
Given the versatility and reasonable-cost Mg diet treatment
offers in acute emergency settings, pharmacists should be
well informed regarding the potential therapeutic role and
considerations of Mg dietary sources, recommended intake,
and supplementation.
