Magnemax, tablets 500 mg 20 pcs

Magnesium preparation.

Magnesium is an essential trace element, is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions, the regulation of cellular permeability and neuromuscular excitability.

It is necessary for many energy processes, is involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Magnesium has a curare-like effect on the termination of cholinergic neurons, with a decrease in acetylcholine release.

Magnesium and calcium interact partially synergistically in the body: however, while competitively inhibiting calcium, magnesium can also affect binding sites as a physiological calcium antagonist.

Indications

Magnesium deficiency, Insomnia, Calf cramps, Irritability, GI spasms, Sleep disturbances

Established magnesium deficiency, isolated or associated with other deficiency conditions, accompanied by symptoms such as:

– increased fatigue;

– increased irritability;

– tingling sensation in muscles.

– minor sleep disturbances;

– gastrointestinal cramps;

– pain and muscle cramps;

If there is no reduction in these symptoms after one month of treatment, continued treatment is not advisable.

Active ingredient

Magnesium orotate

Composition

1 Tablet contains:

How to take, the dosage

Overly, before meals, with a small amount of liquid.

Prescribe 2 tablets 3 times a day for 7 days, then 1 tablet 2-3 times daily. The course of treatment lasts 4 weeks.

Interaction

The simultaneous administration of magnesium-containing drugs with preparations of iron, sodium fluoride and tetracyclines may reduce the absorption of the latter. In addition, aminoquinolines, quinidine, penicillamine should not be administered simultaneously with magnesium preparations. Therefore, these drugs should be taken 2-3 h apart.

The oral contraceptives, diuretics, muscle relaxants, GCS, insulin, reduce the effect of the drug.

Magnesium should be used with caution while using magnesium-containing medications such as antacids or laxatives, or potassium-saving diuretics or calcium-containing medications.

Simultaneous use with drugs containing aluminum may increase aluminum absorption in the body.

Magnesium should be used with caution when used concomitantly with foxglove drugs because concomitant use may interfere with absorption of foxglove drugs.

Some antibiotics (aminoglycosides), cisplatin and cyclosporine A may lead to increased magnesium excretion.

Some diuretics (thiazides and furosemide), cetuximab and erlotinib, proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole and pantoprazole), foscarnet, pentamidine, rapamicin and amphotericin B may cause magnesium deficiency and thus lead to reduced drug effect.

Special Instructions

The drug contains lactose monohydrate, therefore its use is not recommended in patients with hereditary galactosemia, glucose and galactose malabsorption syndrome and lactase deficiency.

Impact on ability to drive vehicles and mechanisms

The drug does not affect the ability to drive vehicles, operate machinery and engage in other activities requiring increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Features

Is absorbed approximately 35-40% of the administered dose. Hypomagnesemia stimulates absorption of magnesium ions. The presence of orotic acid salts improves magnesium absorption.

Magnesium is excreted by the kidneys; excretion decreases in magnesium deficiency and increases in magnesium excess.

Contraindications

• Hypersensitivity to the ingredients of the drug;

• urolithiasis;

• renal dysfunction;

• predisposition to form calcium-magnesium-ammonium-phosphate stones;

• hepatic cirrhosis with ascites;

• children under 18 years of age.

The drug contains lactose, so it should not be used in patients with lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption.

Side effects

Gastrointestinal tract: unsteady stools and diarrhea, which usually go away on their own when reducing the dose of the drug.

Immune system: allergic reactions.
