Patients should receive supplemental calcium and vitamin D if dietary intake is inadequate. Take calcium supplements and calcium- aluminum- and magnesium-containing agents at a different time of the day to prevent interference with risedronate absorption. 

Magnesium deficiency, usually the result of decreased absorption or excessive excretion, results in neuromuscular weakness and ultimately convulsions. Dietary deficiency in catde is known as the grass staggers. Magnesium toxicity from impaired excretion or excessive consumption of antacids results in vomiting, hypertension, and central nervous systems effects. Inhalation of magnesium oxide from welding can cause metal fume fever similar to that from zinc.

Potatoes are an important source of different dietary minerals. Potato is listed as providing 18% of the RDA of potassium, 6% of iron, phosphorus and magnesium, and 2% calcium and zinc. Retention of most minerals is high in boiled potatoes cooked with skin (True et al., 1979). Baking a potato with the skin is a good cooking method to retain minerals.
