Abstract: It is not known whether Teduglutide can allow patients with Short bowel syndrome, previously dependent on continuous or periodic intravenous (IV) magnesium, to attain oral autonomy with or without supplementation. Here, we report on two patients previously dependent on continuous or intermittently administered IV magnesium to achieve autonomy from IV, one with and one without oral supplementation that was previously ineffective in both patients.<br /> (Crown Copyright © 2019.
