DRUG INTERACTIONS:
Caution with sedative drugs, including benzodiazepines - Passionflower and California poppy may have additive effects. Monitor for excessive drowsiness.
Caution with anticonvulsants - glutamine can be metabolised to glutamate, which may antagonise the anticonvulsant effects. Monitor.
Caution with quinolone antibiotics - magnesium forms insoluble complexes with quinolones, decreasing drug absorption. Take drug 2 hours before or 6 hours after magnesium.
Caution with tetracycline antibiotics - tetracyclines form insoluble complexes with magnesium, reducing absorption of both. Separate dose by at least 3 hours.
Caution with bisphosphonates - magnesium can form complexes with drug and reduce absorption. Separate dose by 2 hours.
Caution with calcium channel blockers and other hypotensive medication - magnesium may have additive effects and enhance the hypotensive effect. Monitor blood pressure.
Caution with potassium-sparing diuretics - these drugs also have magnesium-sparing properties which could, theoretically, lead to increased magnesium levels. Monitor.
Caution with skeletal muscle relaxants - magnesium can potentiate effects.
CAUTIONS:
Contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
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 gastrointestinal irritation, nausea and diarrhoea in sensitive individuals, however, usually in much higher doses.
