DRUG INTERACTIONS
ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâ Caution with sedative drugs, including benzodiazepines ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂàPassionflower and California poppy may have additive effects. Monitor for excessive drowsiness.
ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâ Caution with aminoglycoside antibiotics (e.g. gentamicin) - both it and magnesium affect muscle function, potentially leading to muscle weakness and side effects. Co-administration should be avoided.
ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâ Caution with quinolone antibiotics ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂàmagnesium forms insoluble complexes with quinolones, decreasing drug absorption. Take drug 2 hours before or 6 hours after magnesium.
ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâ Caution with tetracycline antibiotics ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂàtetracyclines form insoluble complexes with magnesium, reducing absorption of both. Separate dose by at least 3 hours.
ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâ Caution with bisphosphonates ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂàmagnesium can form complexes with drug and reduce absorption. Separate dose by 2 hours.
ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâ Caution with calcium channel blockers ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂàmagnesium may have additive effects and enhance the hypotensive effect. Monitor BP.
ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâ Caution with potassium-sparing diuretics ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂàthese drugs also have magnesium-sparing properties which could, theoretically, lead to increased magnesium levels. Monitor.
ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâ Caution with skeletal muscle relaxants ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂàmagnesium can potentiate effects.

SIDE EFFECTS
ÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâ Magnesium can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea and diarrhoea in sensitive individuals, however, usually in much higher doses.
