Indications and contraindications for the intake of vitamins "Magnesium plus"

Everyone knows that the human body is a complex self-regulating system, for the normal functioning of which you need a whole set of vitamins and trace elements. Among the vital substances can be attributed and magnesium, the lack of which adversely affects our health. After reading this article, you will learn how to fill the deficit of this element with the help of such drugs as vitamin-mineral complexes.

What is magnesium used for?

In the body of each adult person contains about 30 grams of this substance. And the bulk of this amount is concentrated in the cells of bone tissue and only a small fraction is contained in the muscles. This element is needed for the full functioning of the nervous and muscular tissues. It is he who is responsible for the reduction of neuromuscular excitability. The lack of magnesium can cause the development of arterial hypertension, reduce blood flow in the microcirculatory bed and increase the resistance of the walls of blood vessels. To fill the deficit of this element, special vitamins "Magnesium Plus" were developed.

Forms and composition

The preparation is made in the form of circular flat-cylindrical tablets of white color. Sometimes tablets with a slight specific smell can have a faint yellowish-greenish tinge. The composition of effervescent white tablets "Magnesium plus" includes such components as:

• Magnesium lactate - 200 mg;
• Magnesium carbonate - 100 mg;
• Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) - 2 mg;
• Folic acid - 20 mcg;
• Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) - 1 μg.

Pharmacological features of the drug

Magnesium deficiency often manifests itself in the form of problems with the organs of the digestive tract (spasms, bloating, diarrhea and pain), heart rhythm failures (tachycardia and extrasystole), psychoneurotic disorders (anxiety, sleep problems and irritability) and neuromuscular disorders (spasms, Convulsions, tremors and even muscle weakness).

Vitamin B6, which is part of the Doppelgerz asset: Magnesium plus, has a beneficial effect on the condition of the gums, teeth and bones, and also stimulates the normal functioning of the nervous system. For example, folic acid and vitamin B12 take an active part in most enzymatic reactions.

Indications for use

Like any other similar vitamin-mineral complexes, this preparation has a whole set of indications for use. It is recommended to take it at conditions associated with a deficiency of magnesium and accompanied by such symptoms as:

• Disruption of normal functioning of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, manifested in the form of swelling of the intestines, tingling, diarrhea, spasms and pains;
• Heart failure, including tachycardia and extrasystole;
• Problems of a neuromuscular nature, including asthenia, apathy, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, insomnia and other sleep disorders.

Contraindications to taking the drug "Magnesium plus"

The price of this drug is not too high, so it is available for the vast majority of our compatriots. However, this does not mean that it is possible to take these vitamins uncontrollably, because they, like any other pharmaceutical product, have a number of rather serious contraindications, which must be read before use.

So, "Magnesium plus" can not be used for children under the age of six. This drug is prohibited for people suffering from hypersensitivity to any of the components of the complex, individual lactose intolerance, renal insufficiency, lack of lactase, glucose-lactose malabsorption, phenylketonuria and hypermagnesia.

With special care to receive "Magnesium Plus", the price for which varies between 140-228 rubles, it is necessary to treat patients with moderate impairment of kidney function and pregnant women. Future moms need to take this medication solely for the doctor's prescription. During lactation it is better to refuse magnesium intake altogether, as it is able to penetrate into breast milk.

Side effects

With prolonged intake or overdose of "Magnesium plus" vitamins, the risk of the appearance and further development of hypermagnesia is significantly increased. The earliest symptoms of this disease are blurred speech, vomiting, lowering blood pressure, weakness, nausea, shortness of breath and headache. In patients suffering from kidney failure, dizziness may be added to the above symptoms. If you experience one or more of several symptoms, stop taking the medication as soon as possible and consult your doctor immediately. As a rule, such patients are recommended forced diuresis and rehydration.

Special Recommendations

"Magnesium plus" is shown at the increased need for magnesium, associated with serious physical and mental stress, taking laxatives and excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.

This drug reduces the effect of oral anticoagulants and digestibility of iron. In addition, the pyridoxine entering into its composition promotes inhibition of the activity of levodopa. Phosphates and calcium salts slow down the absorption of magnesium into the digestive tract, while magnesium itself reduces the absorption of tetracycline. Therefore, between the methods of drugs containing these substances, should take at least three hours.

Store the drug in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight at a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees.
