Release form

Active ingredients of the therapeutic and prophylactic agent: magnesium lactate dihydrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride.
Pharmacodynamics
The properties of Magvit B6 are explained by the action of the active components of the drug. Thus, magnesium actively participates in the metabolic reactions of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, as well as in oxidation and reduction processes. Thanks to magnesium, the production of enzymes is stimulated, the contractility of the heart muscle is improved, the composition of fibrinogen and the quality of platelets are normalized.
It has been proven that magnesium deficiency is one of the triggers for the development of hypertension, vascular spasm, and kidney stones. It is difficult to imagine the normal course of neuromuscular reactions without this element.
What role does pyridoxine play? The vitamin is actively involved in amino acid metabolism, without it, activation of phosphorylase, formation of serotonin and glycine are impossible. Vitamin B6 helps the myocardium function, especially in a state of hypoxia.
Among other things, pyridoxine improves the absorption of magnesium and its entry into cellular structures.
