Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Where do you purchase IM Magnesium (regular or compounding pharmacy)? Does it contain preservatives? What is a good dose? I want to present this info to my doctor. Thanks, . __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Magnesium sulfate 50% is what I have used. It is easily available, though the pharmacist may have to order it. Hospitals always have it on hand I think. The stuff I have is preservative free, I think it might always be, but specify that it be anyway. You need a needle long enough to get well into muscle. This length will depend on how much adipose tissue you have (skin membrane and fat). I am skinny as a rail so I use a 1 inch needle. You also need lidocaine or Procaine as a pain killer with this. You draw up a little with the mag for each shot. By itself, it really burns in most people. I also recommend having some extra needles on hand. After sticking into two vials the neeedle can get pretty dull, and dull needles hurt a lot more. E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
