Hi just wondered if an one else had IV magnesium? I was on holiday in Dorset, i had a really bad attack, was admitted to Dorset county hospital A&E, nebs not working, blood gases really low, so they gave me the new treatment of IV magnesium! It worked really well & fast! But it made me really hot whilst having it but well worth it! I then spent 4 days in hospital, back home in Staffordshire now, feeling alot better, but not quite back to my very poor norm yet! See own resp consultant this week!

IV Magnesium
If you search 'IV magneium' in the little box on the left you'll find loads of information. It's a fairly common, and i wouldn't have said new at all but maybe in that hospital it was
I've received IV Magnesium for years now, 9 times out of 10 it works really well for me.
There is currently a research study (the 3Mg trial) going on in A&E departments to assess the effectiveness of nebulised Magnesium
Yes have it every time in an emergency, and I feel hot whilst having it too.
Yes I have also had IV Magnesium and it also helped me
It works for me, but the Doc's told me it is only used when our asthma is severe and not responding to the other drugs given.

I have had it several times. It works well for me, but sometimes the effects do not last long. I too feel very hot when recieving it.
