Mag 2

Magnesium Carbonate, the active ingredient in Mag 2, is a mineral supplement and antacid presented as an oral formulation for oral use. It neutralizes excess gastric acid to relieve heartburn and dyspepsia, and supplies elemental magnesium that supports normal muscle, nerve and cardiovascular function in individuals with low magnesium status.

GNH USA supplies Mag 2 as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies, clinics and other healthcare institutions worldwide, with rigorous quality assurance and regulatory compliance, ensuring product integrity from manufacture to delivery.

Magnesium carbonate is used as an antacid and magnesium supplement to address gastrointestinal acidity and magnesium deficiency.

Heartburn: alleviates burning sensation by neutralizing stomach acid. Dyspepsia: reduces post‑meal discomfort and fullness. Magnesium deficiency: restores normal magnesium levels for muscle and nerve function.

Magnesium carbonate may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Abdominal discomfort or cramping. - Diarrhea or loose stools. - Flatulence and bloating. - Nausea or mild stomach upset. - Constipation (less common).

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hypermagnesemia, especially in renal impairment. - Severe allergic reaction such as anaphylaxis. - Electrolyte imbalance leading to cardiac arrhythmia. - Kidney function impairment. - Persistent vomiting or severe abdominal pain.

When using magnesium carbonate, certain precautions should be observed to ensure safety.

Assess renal function: patients with impaired kidneys may accumulate magnesium. Monitor serum magnesium: avoid hypermagnesemia. Avoid concurrent high‑dose magnesium supplements: risk of excess magnesium. Caution with cardiac conditions: may affect conduction in heart block or when combined with calcium‑channel blockers. Pregnant or breastfeeding women: consult a healthcare professional before use. Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Magnesium carbonate can interact with several medicines, altering their absorption or effects.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Tetracycline antibiotics: reduced absorption and efficacy. - Fluoroquinolone antibiotics: decreased bioavailability. - Bisphosphonates: impaired absorption when taken together.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or potassium‑sparing diuretics: increased risk of hyperkalemia. - Digoxin: possible increase in serum levels. - Calcium‑channel blockers: additive effects on cardiac conduction.
