Magnesium carbonate dosage

Two patients with hypothyroidism taking a fixed dosage of levothyroxine took aluminium hydroxide and magnesium oxide (72). In both cases there was a marked increase in the serum concentration of TSH and low serum T4. After withdrawal of the antacids, TSH again fell. In vitro studies showed a dose-related adsorption of levothyroxine by a combination of aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and magnesium carbonate, but no effect of magnesium oxide alone. 

The first published analysis for powders was written in 1981 by Becconsall et al. It described the analysis of propranolol and magnesium carbonate mixes. In 1987, Ciurczak and Torlini published on the analysis of solid and liquid dosage forms using reflectance and transflectance, respectively. 

Magnesium carbonate is used as an excipient in oral solid-dosage pharmaceutical formulations and is generally regarded as an essentially nontoxic and nonirritant material. However, the use of magnesium salts, such as magnesium carbonate, is contraindicated in patients with renal impairment. In addition, the probable oral lethal dose in humans has been estimated at 0.5-5.0g/kg body weight. ...

Manufacture of HGC dosage forms compared with tablets requires minimum formulation efforts and usually involves granulation of the API powders with diluents such as lactose, mannitol, calcium carbonate, and lubricants such as magnesium stearate. Prior to filling the capsules with the granulated API powder, the body and cap are separated. The cap is replaced after completion of the filling...
