I am taking nature's bounty, magnesium 250mg for leg cramps. I am experiencing some break outs. Although sulfa isn't listed in the ingredients. Does it contain sulfa ## No, they do not. However, it could just be your body reacting to the magnesium itself. While, over the long-term, magnesium can help resolve acne, suddenly starting it may cause brief unexpected break outs, just like when you start any other acne medication. You should also be aware that as reported by the U.S. FDA, it may cause diarrhea. That said, you should be aware that leg cramps are most often caused by being low in potassium, they are not caused as often by low levels of magnesium and calcium. Thus, you may get better results by improving your calcium intake. Your doctor should be able to do a simple blood...

After having heart skips or chest pressure and not being able to take statin drugs, since I was alergic to them.(I had a fever and vomiting for 24 hours), I heard that magnesium relaxes arteries, It stopped the chest pressure and heart skips. I use about 3 or 4 pills a day. It also helps with constipation since I have to take narcotics for pain. I hope this helps someone. Magnesium is very low priced at Walmart. Also, if you are on statins, make sure you take CO Q10, 50 to 100 mg because the statins take that out of your body and your heart needs it for a strong beat. ## I want tablets with 1000 mg of calcium 500 mg magnicium and 1000 iu of d3 Ple inform 3 good brands with price if available ## What dose of Magnesium are you taking?

someone was asking earlier today about how much mag to take and I cant find the thread. I use Nature Made Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc supplement with vitamin D. 2 tabs when needed, usually at night before bed. I also do an epsom salt bath every night with 1-2 cups epsom salt in the bath water, along with a sports alcohol. This is great! Sometimes when the restless legs are really bad I take several baths a night. I will never go without my magnesium!!!!!

I am on Aspovor 80mg per day for cholesterol. Can I take a magnesium supplement concurrently? ## Hello, Richard! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between the two, so it should be fine, as long as your doctor approves. You should be aware, however, that the U.S. FDA warns that the magnesium may cause drowsiness and diarrhea, as side effects. Is there anything else I can help with?

I currently take 50 mg losartan daily. Would taking magnesium tartrate pose a risk? ## Nothing specific was found with regards to Losartan and Magnesium interacting with one-another, so it should be okay [1]. What I did read, however, is that it is not recommended to take Magnesium if you consume alcohol regularly. "Excessive ethanol (e.g., alcoholism) may result in increased urinary excretion of magnesium. Avoid high intakes of ethanol while taking magnesium salts." Source: [1] UCLA Health Drug Interactions Checker, always double check with your doctor or pharmacist.

I started with 10mg of Jardiance around three weeks back. I am already on 2000mg of metformin. Since I started Jardiance I've been suffering badly from thrush, around every 90 minutes I am peeing. Initially I showed around 10 pounds of weight loss and now again I am gaining the weight back. My other concern is that my magnesium levels have gone down as I am peeing too much and the absorption of the nutrient is less. Please advise...

I have trouble swallowing pills due to a narrowed throat. My round 250 mg magnesium tablets are sometimes hard to get down. Does anyone know of an oval magnesium tablet, or are they all round? Thanks. ## There are a wide variety of magnesium supplements; some are in pill form and some are in powdered form that you can easily empty and stir into a glass of water. I've personally used the powdered packets that you put in your water and they have good flavor as well. As far as the shape or look of a pill goes, the way a pill looks is entirely up to the whit and whim of the company making it, so you'd really just have to search around and try all the brands out there till you find one that is reasonable for you to take. Otherwise I would suggest opting for the powdered solution. ## ...

I am increasingly sensitive to prescription drugs. I have been researching and have found all the ones I have had reactions to have the inactive ingredient MAGNESIUM STEARATE. It is a soy/palm tree derivative. has anyone been successful in finding RX without this? ## The best thing you can do is to let your pharmacy know of the issue, because their computerized database will automatically check for that ingredient in any medication that is prescribed for you. Learn more allergy details here. However, it may not be the magnesium stearate, at all. It is always possible that you're just sensitive to medications. What types of reactions where you having? ## I am having issue also. Results in breaking out in itchy rash symmetrically on my body. If I break out on one leg or arm, the other...

My right bicep when fully contracted is painful, where did I go wrong performing my bicep curls, i am not sure, but maybe I lifted a heavy weight without a proper warmup. The pain does not seem to be going, its kinda precipatated! My arm movement is close to normal but I cant do my curls any more. I went to my GNC shop and was recommended to take GNC Calcium1000 Magnesium 400. Can anyone tell me if this will be helpfull or not? Can anyone help me with my bicep problem? ## Have you consulted a doctor? That product is just a nutritional supplement, so it will really only help in treating or preventing conditions associated with a deficiency in them. It is not likely to do much for some type of injury.

I just took a Diurex and a mobic within minutes of each other...is this a problem? ## Diurex actually contains Pamabrom, which is claimed to be a diuretic to help with bloating. Mobic contains the active ingredient Meloxicam and is a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Unfortunately, since Diurex is actually an over the counter supplement and not a prescription medication, its interactions with prescription medications has not been studied, nor has its side effects. You could try asking your doctor or pharmacist if they have any information. Did you have any other questions?

I just took a Diurex and a mobic within minutes of each other...is this a problem? ## My mother takes mobic on a periodic basis. She has also begun to take magnesium supplements in hopes of relieving muscle cramps. Should we be worried about a drug interaction? ## I didn't find any interactions, or warnings listed, but it is always best to double check with your doctor, or pharmacist to be sure, since they may be aware of information that hasn't been listed in the databases, yet. Mobic contains the active ingredient Meloxicam, it's a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation, and increased risk of bleeding. Are you on any other...
