Magnesium Salts

Drug Index

Magnesium is a chemical element with the symbolMg and atomic number12. It is a shiny gray solid which bears a close physical resemblance to the other five elements in the second column (group 2, or alkaline earth metals) of the periodic table: all group 2 elements have the same electron configuration in the outer electron shell and a similar crystal structure. This element is produced in large, aging stars from the sequential addition of three helium nuclei to a carbon nucleus. When such star...

Magnesium citrate is a magnesium preparation in salt form with citric acid in a 1:1 ratio (1 magnesium atom per citrate molecule). The name "magnesium citrate" is ambiguous and sometimes may refer to other salts such as trimagnesium citrate which has a magnesium:citrate ratio of 3:2. Magnesium citrate is used medicinally as a saline laxative and to completely empty the bowel prior to a major surgery or colonoscopy. It is available without a prescription, both as a generic and under various b...

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."

I have been taking adderall for about 3 years and now the drugest gives me thisso what is this pill and it gives me bad side effects ## This tablet is a generic for Adderall that contains 30mgs of mixed Amphetamine salts, however, since there can be differences between name brands and generics, that may explain why you are getting bad side effects from it. (NDC 0555-0974) Inactive Ingredients: - Silicon Dioxide - Starch, Corn - Magnesium Stearate - Cellulose, Microcrystalline - Saccharin Sodium - Fd&c Yellow No. 6 - Aluminum Oxide The FDA does allow generics to differ from the name brand by as much as plus or minus 20% in the active ingredient, so that gives 2 possibilities to explain your problem and since you didn't describe what you are experiencing, I cannot guess which one...

It is both dextroamphetamine and amphetamine combined. Not quite as strong as the orange 30 mg adderall pill but still a stimulant used for adhd and narcolepsy. ## The MP 447 tablet is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceuticals and it is a 30mg generic for Adderall that contains mixed amphetamine salts. NDC Code: 57664-647 / 53489-0570 (Discontinued) Inactive Ingredients: - Crospovidone - Magnesium Stearate - Cellulose, Microcrystalline - Povidones - Starch, Corn - D&c Yellow No. 10 Be it the brand or generic, FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, insomnia, and anorexia. Ref: DailyMed ## Any idea if these are similar to the 30mg Teva oval tablets? Besides the fact that they'...

What is the difference between a pink round pill with the cor 136 on it and the smaller pill with cor 135 on it? ## whats the differrnce between 512 &v4839 ## One is 20 mg cor135 and cor136 is 30 mg ## What Roger has stated is correct, the tablet with the marking cor 135 contains 20mgs of mixed amphetamine salts (NDC 64720-0135), and the one with the marking cor 136 contains 30mgs of mixed amphetamine salts (NDC 64720-0136).

The pill is pink and round with cor 135 on it. How many mg is it? And I just wanted to make sure that it is Adderall because a friend asked. ## COR 135 is not Adderall. Adderall is a name brand and the most popular brand of mixed amphetamine salts. It is manufactured by Shire Pharmaceuticals. Adderall is available in varying stengths and time release properties. The extended release form is called Adderall XR. The patent on Adderall, not Adderall XR, expired. So now their are generics available at a lower price. COR 135 is a generic for Adderall that is manufactured by Core Pharmaceuticals. It's round, pink, and in my opinion, is a poor substitute for Adderall though everyone's experience may be different.
