Precautions

This medication should not be taken by patients with severely impaired kidney function as it may cause dangerous levels of magnesium in the blood. Additionally, it is advisable not to use this medication in patients with diarrhea. Caution should be exercised when administering this medication to patients with heart issues or those already having high blood magnesium levels. While taking this medication, gastrointestinal side effects such as occasional diarrhea may occur, so care is needed. Long-term or excessive use can lead to excessively high magnesium levels, so the condition should be monitored closely, and if abnormalities occur, the dosage should be reduced or temporarily discontinued. If magnesium toxicity symptoms are suspected, appropriate treatment should be received immediately, and potassium salt injections may be helpful at that time. This medication may interfere with the absorption of certain antibiotics, particularly from the tetracycline class, so it is advisable not to take them together. Additionally, since this medication alters the environment in the gastrointestinal tract, it may affect the absorption or excretion of other medications, so caution is advised when taking it with other drugs. Rarely, when taken with large amounts of milk or calcium preparations, symptoms such as hypercalcemia or alkalosis may occur, so symptoms should be monitored closely, and if abnormalities occur, intake should be stopped. This medication should be kept out of reach of children and stored away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry place. Furthermore, to prevent misuse and maintain the quality of the medication, it should be stored in its original container.
