Hypermagnesemia, or high magnesium levels, is a potentially life-threatening condition most often seen in patients with renal failure or after excessive magnesium intake. Knowing what medication brings down magnesium levels is crucial for rapid and effective clinical management.

While clinically significant hypermagnesemia is uncommon, it occurs in approximately 10% to 15% of hospitalized patients with kidney failure [1.7.1]. Knowing how do you get rid of magnesium toxicity is critical as severe cases can be fatal [1.2.1].
