Mag 2

Magnesium pidolate, the active ingredient in Mag 2, is a magnesium supplement presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It provides bioavailable magnesium ions that act as cofactors in numerous enzymatic reactions, helping to maintain normal neuromuscular excitability, cardiac rhythm, and overall electrolyte balance in individuals with low magnesium status.

GNH USA supplies Mag 2 as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, ensuring consistent quality and regulatory conformity across European and global markets.

Mag 2, a magnesium supplement, is used to correct low magnesium levels and related disorders affecting the neuromuscular and cardiovascular systems.

- Magnesium deficiency: restores normal magnesium concentrations and reduces associated symptoms. - Hypomagnesemia: corrects serum magnesium deficits and supports cellular function. - Muscle cramps: alleviates involuntary muscle contractions linked to low magnesium. - Cardiovascular support: contributes to normal cardiac rhythm and vascular tone.

Mag 2 is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.

Common Side Effects: - Diarrhea: loose stools occurring after ingestion. - Abdominal discomfort: mild stomach pain or cramping. - Nausea: feeling of queasiness. - Flatulence: increased intestinal gas. - Metallic taste: transient alteration in taste perception. - Headache: mild to moderate head pain.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hypermagnesemia: elevated serum magnesium leading to cardiac arrhythmia. - Severe hypotension: marked drop in blood pressure. - Respiratory depression: reduced breathing effort. - Muscle weakness: generalized loss of strength. - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, or swelling. - Cardiac arrest: extremely rare but life‑threatening event.

Before initiating Mag 2, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess renal function: adjust use in patients with severe renal impairment. - Monitor serum magnesium: check levels during prolonged therapy. - Avoid in hypermagnesemia: contraindicated when serum magnesium is already elevated. - Caution in pregnancy: limited data; use only if clearly needed after risk‑benefit assessment. - Review concomitant medications: evaluate for potential interactions. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Mag 2 may interact with several medicines; awareness of the interaction level helps guide management.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Calcium channel blockers: additive risk of hypermagnesemia. - Potassium‑sparing diuretics: may increase serum magnesium excessively. - Antacids containing magnesium: can lead to excess magnesium intake.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Bisphosphonates: reduced absorption if taken together; separate dosing by at least 2 hours. - Tetracycline antibiotics: decreased absorption; separate administration. - Proton pump inhibitors: may affect magnesium homeostasis with long‑term use.
