muscle pain, muscle spasms, muscle tremors, headaches, fatigue, increased irritability,
reduced stress tolerance, sleep disorders, lipid metabolism disorders in the blood,
heart rhythm disorders, accelerated atherosclerotic changes in blood vessels, arterial hypertension,

Warnings and precautions

Before starting to take Slow-Mag, the patient should discuss it with their doctor or pharmacist.
When taking Slow-Mag, caution should be exercised, as magnesium compounds have a laxative effect.
Chronic diarrhea caused by long-term use of magnesium-containing medications can lead to electrolyte imbalance (loss of water and minerals).
Administering the medicine to patients with renal impairment may lead to an excess of magnesium in the body and magnesium poisoning.
Taking Slow-Mag with other magnesium-containing products may lead to an excess of magnesium in the body.

Slow-Mag and other medicines

The patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
Calcium preparations used in high doses also reduce magnesium absorption.
Oral magnesium compounds reduce the absorption of tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, iron preparations, fluoride compounds, and oral anticoagulant medications derived from warfarin.
Diuretic medications, aminoglycoside antibiotics, cisplatin, mitramycin, amphotericin B, and mineralocorticosteroids increase magnesium excretion in the urine.
Concomitant use of magnesium and amiodarone may cause cardiac conduction disorders.
Concomitant use of magnesium and dihydralazine may cause significant hypotension.

Slow-Mag with food and drink

The absorption of magnesium from enteric-coated tablets is limited by organic acids, phytin, oxalic acid, gallic acid (tannin), fatty acids, and phosphates.
The medicine should be taken during meals or immediately after meals, with a glass of water.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, or thinks they may be pregnant or plans to have a child, they should consult their doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
