This medicine should not be administered to patients with severely impaired kidney function as it can dangerously elevate magnesium levels in the blood. Additionally, it is advisable not to administer this drug to patients with diarrhea as it may worsen symptoms. Caution should be exercised when using this medicine in patients with heart problems or those who already have elevated magnesium levels in the blood. When taking this medication, it is important to note that side effects such as diarrhea may occur in the gastrointestinal system. Prolonged or high-dosage usage can lead to elevated magnesium levels, which may be harmful to health, so regular monitoring of the condition is needed, and if any anomalies occur, the dosage should be reduced or temporarily discontinued. If symptoms of magnesium excess appear, healthcare professionals can treat it with potassium salt injections.
