Magnesium Infusion with Vitamins B6 and B12

Individual cost plan after consultation

Intravenous magnesium (3 mmol) with vitamins B6 and B12 in physiological saline. Appropriate after medical assessment — for example with a laboratory-confirmed magnesium deficiency, when oral supplementation is not tolerated or insufficient. Performed under supervision, billed according to GOÄ.

Composition

Magnesium	3 mmol
Pyridoxine (vitamin B6)	25 mg
Vitamin B12 (depot form)	1.5 mg
Carrier solution	NaCl 0.9%, 500 ml

When this infusion makes sense — and when it does not

Appropriate with a confirmed magnesium deficiency when oral supplements are not tolerated (commonly: gastrointestinal side effects) or insufficient. With intact absorption, oral intake is generally equivalent — then I recommend the cheaper tablet, not the infusion. Important contraindications include relevant renal impairment and certain cardiac arrhythmias.

Safety and procedure

The infusion typically runs 30–60 minutes under medical supervision — professionally placed venous access, monitoring throughout, full emergency equipment on site. As a board-certified anaesthesiologist, this is my core specialty. Billed as a private service according to the German GOÄ fee schedule; costs are discussed transparently in advance.

This page provides a first overview. What a treatment specifically means for you — which method, which dosage, which expectation is realistic — belongs in a personal consultation at the practice.
