Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Magnesium correction is not given in patients who do not have any symptoms. Magnesium when taken intravenously is the best way to correct it, it is given as magnesium sulfafe.
Orally mag-ox can be given, I usually give up to 6 tablets a day. Concomitant calcium and potassium deficiency should be corrected as well
Transdermally or subcutaneous formulation is not given
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
