Magnesium contraindications

Laxatives are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity and those with persistent abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting of unknown cause or signs of acute appendicitis, fecal impaction, intestinal obstruction, or acute hepatitis. These dragp are used only as directed because excessive or prolonged use may cause dependence. Magnesium hydroxide is used cautiously in patients with any degree of renal impairment. Laxatives... 

Neurological symptoms, which tend to appear in the first week of therapy, consist of dizziness, confusion, irritability, psychotic behavioral changes, and even suicidal ideation. Cycloserine is contraindicated in patients with underlying psychiatric and seizure disorders. Other side effects include occasional peripheral neuropathy and low magnesium levels. 

Contraindications Primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism, including hypercalci-uria (renal calcium leak), hypomagnesemic states (serum magnesium less than 1.5 mg/dl), bone disease (osteoporosis, osteomalacia, osteitis), hypocalcemic states (e.g., hypoparathyroidism, intestinal malabsorption), normal or low intestinal absorption and renal excretion of calcium, enteric hyperoxaluria, and patients with high fasting urinary calcium or hypophosphatemia. 

Contraindications Allergy to tartrazine dye, bleeding disorders, GI bleeding or ulceration, history of hypersensitivity to choline magnesium trisalicylate, aspirin, or NSAIDs. 

Contraindications Severe renal impairment, hypersensitivity to magnesium salicylate or any component of the formulation... 

Co-administration of tetracyclines with antacids or other drugs containing divalent or trivalent cations, such as calcium, magnesium, or iron, is contraindicated. Tetracyclines form complexes with such cations, which are very poorly or not at all absorbed (75,174,175). 

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. ... 

Osmotic laxatives (hyperosmolar) are salts or saline products, lactulose, and glycerin. The saline products are composed of sodium or magnesium, and a small amount is systemically absorbed. They pull water into the colon and increase water in the feces to increase bulk, which stimulates peristalsis. Saline cathartics cause a semiformed-to-watery stool depending on dose. However, they are contraindicated for patients who have congestive heart failure. 

Methenamine and methenamine mandelate are only effective as urinary antisepties if the pH is about 5.5 or lower, when formaldehyde is released. This is normally achieved by giving urinary acidifiers such as ammonium chloride, ascorbic acid, or sodium acid phosphate. In the case of methenamine hippurate, the acidification of the urine is achieved by the presence of hippuric acid. The concurrent use of substances that raise the urinary pH such as acetazolamide, sodium bicarbonate, potassium or sodium citrate is clearly contraindicated. Potassium citrate mixture BPC has been shown to raise the pH by more than 1 at normal therapeutic doses, thereby making the urine sufficiently alkaline to interfere with the activation of methenamine to formaldehyde. Some antacids (containing magnesium, aluminium or calcium as well as sodium bicarbonate mentioned above) can also cause a significant rise in the pH of the urine. ...
