Indications Magne B6 forte

Insufficient intake of Magnesium in the human body has negative consequences: convulsions, insomnia, hair loss may occur. The person becomes irritable (sometimes aggressive), suffers from heart pain, frequent and sharp jumps in blood pressure. All of the above phenomena can be the first symptoms of magnesium deficiency in your body. Treatment should be started immediately so as not to aggravate the situation. After all, if you do not replenish the magnesium balance in time, its deficiency can lead to problems with the cardiovascular system, as well as myocardial infarction.

Pyridoxine dissolves well in water, so it is easily excreted from the body. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly replenish its reserves. In the modern world, a person receives a large mental and psychological load every day. In order to cope with all this and not experience stress, the body needs a sufficient amount of energy and amino acids. We get energy and amino acids from the food we eat. And pyridoxine is necessary for their normal absorption.

Release form

Magne B6 forte is available in tablet form and in the form of solutions for oral administration (ampoules). Unlike tablets, which contain only about 48 mg of magnesium, ampoules contain much more magnesium (up to 100 mg). The same applies to pyridoxine, which is 5 mg in tablets and 10 mg in ampoules. The solution also has a pleasant caramel smell.

Pharmacodynamics

Magne B6 Forte contains two main beneficial ingredients – magnesium and vitamin B6.

Magnesium is an important microelement for the human body. It participates in the energy processes of the cell, improves the mechanism of transmission of nerve impulses in the musculoskeletal tissue, stabilizes the work of the heart and the condition of blood vessels.

Vitamin B6 helps the body absorb magnesium from the gastrointestinal tract and penetrate it into the cells of the body. As mentioned above, pyridoxine helps the body absorb amino acids and energy from food for normal functioning. In addition, the vitamin takes part in the production of blood and immune cells, in the metabolism of proteins and fats.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption and distribution	Magnesium absorption occurs in the gastrointestinal tract. No more than half of the magnesium taken orally is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. That is, 50%. In the body, magnesium is distributed in smooth and striated muscles, as well as in the skeletal system.
Withdrawal	Magnesium is excreted mostly in urine.

Use Magne B6 forte during pregnancy

The amount of magnesium in the body of a pregnant woman decreases sharply, because most of it is spent on the development of the musculoskeletal system of the child. And the deficiency of this microelement can lead to convulsions, increased tone of the uterus (as a result of which miscarriage often occurs), tremors of the hands and feet. With a low magnesium content in the body, a pregnant woman becomes too nervous (which is very harmful for the future baby) and lethargic; she sleeps and eats poorly, constantly feels tired. Also, pregnant women may have problems with digestion, pain in the epigastric part of the abdomen.

If you suddenly find yourself with the above symptoms, you should immediately contact your doctor. If necessary, he will prescribe Magne-B6 forte. And self-medication (especially for pregnant women) is strictly prohibited.

As you can see, magnesium is very important for the human body, especially for a pregnant woman. But, in addition to magnesium, Magne B6 Forte also contains vitamin B6, which is also important. It is not without reason that it is called "the most feminine vitamin." Pyridoxine is involved in the formation of blood cells and immunity in a child. In addition, it is required to build the baby's nervous system.

Contraindications

Magne B6 forte should not be taken if you have problems with amino acid metabolism, fructose intolerance, stomach ulcers, severe liver and kidney disease, or coronary heart disease. Magne B6 forte is contraindicated for those who have hypersensitivity to at least one of the ingredients of the drug. In addition, children under six years of age are also prohibited from taking the drug. People with hypotension should remember that magnesium has the ability to lower blood pressure, which can negatively affect the health of hypotensive patients.

Side effects Magne B6 forte

In most cases, the drug is well tolerated. Sometimes people may experience allergic reactions (skin redness, itching, rash), tingling and burning in the legs, headache, drowsiness and fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting.

Overdose

Remember that you should not exceed the recommended daily dose of the drug. In patients with normal kidney function, this usually leads to a sharp increase in side effects. And in patients who suffer from kidney disease, an overdose of Magne B6 forte can lead to serious poisoning of the body due to excessive accumulation of magnesium in it. And it accumulates because, due to the lack of normal functioning of the urinary system, magnesium does not have time to be excreted from the body.

Interactions with other drugs

The drug Magne B6 forte is prohibited to be taken simultaneously with: tetracyclines (antibiotics), antiparkinsonian drug - levodopa, phosphates and calcium salts.

In the first case, magnesium reduces the absorption of antibiotics. In the case of lovodopa, magnesium simply blocks its activity. And phosphates and calcium salts slow down the absorption of magnesium in the stomach.
