Indicated for: magnesium deficiency
Route of administration: oral
Substance: magnesium lactate + pyridoxine (mineral + vitamin)
ATC: A12CC30 (Alimentary tract and metabolism | Other mineral supplements | Magnesium)
The combination of magnesium lactate and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is used for the prevention and treatment of magnesium deficiency, as well as for alleviating associated symptoms such as muscle cramps, fatigue, or irritability. This combination has a synergistic effect, as vitamin B6 enhances the absorption and utilization of magnesium in the body.
- Magnesium: An essential mineral involved in numerous biological processes, including nervous system function, muscle contraction, energy metabolism, and bone health. Magnesium deficiency can cause muscle cramps, fatigue, cardiac arrhythmias, and nervous system disorders.
- Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6): A water-soluble vitamin that contributes to protein metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and normal nervous system function. It also helps reduce fatigue and supports magnesium absorption.
This combination is taken orally, usually in the form of tablets or capsules, as directed by a doctor. It is indicated in cases of stress, intense physical activity, pregnancy, premenstrual syndrome, or other situations that increase magnesium requirements.
Side effects are rare but may include stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or allergic reactions. In case of overdose, symptoms such as nausea, muscle weakness, or low blood pressure may occur.
Patients should strictly follow their doctor’s instructions and avoid excessive intake. The combination is not recommended in cases of severe renal impairment or hypermagnesemia.
