DRUG INTERACTIONS
Contraindicated with antivirals belonging to the Baloxavir class – magnesium may decrease serum concentrations of the drug and therefore reduce efficacy.
Caution with quinolone antibiotics (such as ciprofloxacin) – magnesium forms insoluble complexes with quinolones, decreasing drug absorption. Take medicine 2 hours before or 6 hours after magnesium.
Caution with tetracycline antibiotics – magnesium may decrease the absorption and efficacy. Separate dose by at least 3 hours.
Caution with bisphosphonates – magnesium can form complexes with oral bisphosphonates and reduce their absorption. Separate dose by at least 2 hours.
Caution with calcium channel blockers and other hypotensive medications – magnesium may have an additive effect and enhance the hypotensive effect. Monitor blood pressure.
Caution with levothyroxine and eltrombopag – magnesium may reduce the absorption and efficacy of the medication. Separate dose by at least 4 hours.
CAUTIONS
High dose magnesium is contraindicated in people with compromised renal function and heart block.
Caution in individuals with low blood pressure – magnesium supplementation can lower blood pressure. Monitor.
SIDE EFFECTS
Magnesium can cause diarrhoea and gastric irritation in sensitive individuals (usually occurs at doses over 350mg elemental magnesium).
