Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Magnesium is a vital element that is necessary for normal cell function, it participates in most metabolic reactions. In particular it participates in the regulation of nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction. 50% of the amount of magnesium contained in the body is accumulated in bone tissue.

Pyridoxine (vitamin B₆) participates in many metabolic processes and improves the absorption of magnesium from the gastrointestinal tract and its penetration into cells.

Serum magnesium concentrations:

• in the range 12 and17 mg/L (1 – 1.4 mEq/L or 0.5 – 0.7 mmol/L): Indicates moderate magnesium deficiency;

• below 12 mg/L (1 mEq/L or 0.5 mmol/L): indicates severe magnesium deficiency.

The body gets magnesium with food. Magnesium deficiency in the body can occur when there is a deficiency in intake or when the need for magnesium increases.

Pharmacokinetics

The gastrointestinal absorption of magnesium salts occurs in part by a passive mechanism in which salt solubility plays a determining role. The degree of this absorption does not exceed 50%. Excretion occurs mainly by the kidneys.
