DRUG INTERACTIONS

¢€¢ Caution with sedative drugs, including benzodiazepines ¢€“ Passionflower and California poppy may have additive effects. Monitor for excessive drowsiness.

¢€¢ 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.

¢€¢ 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 ¢€“ magnesium may have additive effects and enhance the hypotensive effect. Monitor BP.

¢€¢ 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.

SIDE EFFECTS

¢€¢ Magnesium can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea and diarrhoea in sensitive individuals, however, usually in much higher doses.

¢€¢ Passionflower may cause dizziness, confusion and sedation in some individuals.
