2. BEFORE TAKING MAGNOGENE

Do not take Magnogene if:

  • you are allergic (hypersensitive) to magnesium salts or any of the other components of Magnogene.
  • you have kidney problems.
  • you have or have had heart diseases such as cardiac block or have been diagnosed with ischemic heart disease (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, ... due to lack of blood flow to the heart).
  • you have or have had diabetic coma (loss of consciousness due to excessively high or low blood sugar levels).
  • you have been diagnosed with myasthenia gravis (autoimmune neuromuscular disease).
  • you suffer from chronic diarrhea or have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease).
  • you have undergone an ileostomy (intestinal surgery).
  • you have symptoms of appendicitis: abdominal pain (pain around the navel) that increases in intensity and moves to the lower right part of the abdomen as the process evolves. This pain may be accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and low-grade fever.

Be careful with Magnogene:

  • Prolonged use of this medicine can cause hypermagnesemia (high magnesium levels in the blood) characterized by nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression (weak breathing), and central nervous system depression (symptoms can range from numbness to coma), hyperreflexia (exaggeration of reflexes), muscle weakness, and certain cardiovascular effects such as low blood pressure, decreased heart rate, and cardiac arrest.
  • Taking this medicine on an empty stomach can cause diarrhea.
  • Patients with kidney disease should consult their doctor before taking this medicine.

Use in children:

Do not administer to children under 12 years of age unless advised by a doctor.

Use in people over 65 years of age:

In patients over 65 years of age who suffer from decreased kidney function, the dose and frequency of administration of magnesium salts should be modified by the doctor according to the degree of this decrease in renal function.

Use of other medicines:

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, or have recently used, other medicines, including those purchased without a prescription.

Interactions may occur with the following medicines:

Antifungal agents (for fungi) such as azoles (itraconazole, fluconazole).

Antibiotics such as tetracyclines (doxycycline, minocycline, oxytetracycline, tetracycline) and quinolones (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin), which may reduce the effectiveness of the antibiotic.

Bisphosphonates (medicines used in the treatment of osteoporosis).

Delavirdine, an antiretroviral agent used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS.

Digitalis, used in the treatment of congestive heart failure. The main digitalis is digoxin.

Sodium polystyrene sulfonate, used in the treatment of hyperkalemia, can cause metabolic alkalosis.

Quinidine, used in the treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders.

Note that these instructions may also apply to medicines that have been taken before or may be taken later, so, in general, at least 2 hours should elapse between the administration of Magnogene and any other oral medication, as it may decrease or increase the absorption of other drugs.

Taking magnesium with food and drinks

Excessive and prolonged consumption of products containing magnesium and calcium can cause high calcium levels in the blood. In these situations, calcium intake and foods rich in calcium, such as dairy products, should be controlled.

Alcohol and glucose increase magnesium excretion.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding:

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.

It is recommended to cover magnesium needs with a diet rich in vegetables, whole grains for the prevention of magnesium deficiency consequences during pregnancy.

Important for women:

If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor before taking this medicine. The use of medicines during pregnancy can be hazardous to the embryo or fetus and should be monitored by your doctor.

Breastfeeding:

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.

No problems have been described in breastfed infants whose mothers take Magnogene tablets at the recommended doses.

Driving and using machines:

No effects on the ability to drive or use tools and machines are expected.

3. HOW TO TAKE MAGNOGENE

The symptoms of hypermagnesemia are: hot flashes, slowing of the heart rate, central nervous system depression, muscle weakness, fatigue, drowsiness or hyperexcitability, nausea, hypotension, confusion, respiratory depression, arrhythmias, coma, and cardiac arrest.

Muscle block associated with hypermagnesemia is reversible by administering calcium salts.
