Description
Magnesium Sandoz is a magnesium supplement in effervescent tablet form that allows the body to be supplied with magnesium in a form that the body can absorb well and in sufficient quantities. Magnesium is a vital element that is necessary for many metabolic processes in the human body. It is assumed that adults need at least 300-400 mg magnesium per day (1 Magnesium Sandoz effervescent tablet contains 10 mmol, corresponding to 243 mg magnesium).
Magnesium Sandoz is used to cover an increased need (e.g. during growth, high-performance sport, pregnancy, breastfeeding), with a low-magnesium diet and with calf cramps.
On prescription from a doctor or on the advice of a pharmacist, Magnesium Sandoz can be used to treat magnesium deficiencies, which can be manifested by symptoms such as nervousness, irritability and tiredness; used for muscle twitching, restless legs and alcohol abuse.
Magnesium Sandoz is prescribed by the doctor for tachycardia cardiac arrhythmias, especially resistance to other antiarrhythmic drugs.

When should Magnesium Sandoz not be taken?
Magnesium Sandoz should not be used if you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients, have a tendency to stone formation, severe dehydration of the body (exsiccosis), severe kidney dysfunction and disturbances in the conduction of impulses in the heart. In case of doubt, the doctor should be consulted.

You should also not take Magnesium Sandoz if you suffer from a (rare) hereditary disease of the sugar metabolism, the so-called fructose intolerance. Magnesium Sandoz contains sorbitol, a sugar that forms fructose when digested.
Your doctor, pharmacist or druggist knows what to do in such cases.
When is caution required when taking Magnesium Sandoz?

In the case of concomitant treatment with Magnesium Sandoz and iron salts, antibiotics of the tetracycline group, certain heart medicines (quinidine, digitalis derivatives), medicines for gastric hyperacidity (H2 blockers) and medicines for epilepsy (phenytoin and related substances) the absorption of these medicines and their effectiveness may be reduced.
Taking Magnesium Sandoz and vitamin D at the same time can cause too much calcium in the blood.
Inform your doctor, pharmacist or druggist if you suffer from other illnesses, have allergies or are taking other medicines (even those you bought yourself!) or using them externally.
