Magnesium Kora Healthcare (Magnesium)

Magnesium Kora Healthcare is a mineral supplement that supports electrolyte balance and neuromuscular function.

• Magnesium deficiency: helps restore normal magnesium levels and related biochemical processes.
• Muscle cramps: reduces frequency and intensity of involuntary muscle contractions.
• Constipation: promotes intestinal motility through smooth‑muscle relaxation.
• Cardiovascular health: contributes to normal heart rhythm and vascular tone.

• Magnesium provides essential Mg2+ ions that act as cofactors for over 300 enzymatic reactions, including ATP synthesis, protein formation and nerve transmission. By participating in ion channel regulation and calcium antagonism, it stabilises neuronal excitability, supports muscle contraction and relaxation, and maintains electrolyte homeostasis essential for cardiovascular function.

Magnesium Kora Healthcare may cause adverse reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects

• Diarrhea: loose stools occurring after oral intake.
• Abdominal discomfort: mild stomach pain or cramping.
• Nausea: feeling of queasiness without vomiting.
• Metallic taste: transient alteration in oral sensation.
• Flatulence: increased intestinal gas.
• Headache: mild to moderate head pain.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

• Hypermagnesemia: elevated serum magnesium leading to cardiac arrhythmia.
• Irregular heartbeat: palpitations or abnormal rhythm.
• Low blood pressure: symptomatic hypotension.
• Severe allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis.
• Muscle weakness: notable reduction in strength.
• Respiratory depression: slowed breathing in extreme cases.

When using Magnesium Kora Healthcare, consider the following safety measures.

• Assess renal function: adjust use in patients with impaired kidney function.
• Monitor serum magnesium: avoid excess levels that may cause toxicity.
• Use with caution in heart block patients: may affect cardiac conduction.
• Avoid in known hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic reaction occurs.
• Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and light.

Magnesium can interact with several medicines, requiring attention to avoid reduced efficacy or increased toxicity.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

• Tetracycline antibiotics: reduced absorption when taken together.
• Bisphosphonates: decreased efficacy due to chelation.
• Potassium‑sparing diuretics: increased risk of hypermagnesemia.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

• Calcium supplements: may compete for absorption, monitor levels.
• ACE inhibitors: monitor blood pressure and renal function.
• Proton pump inhibitors: may lower magnesium levels over long‑term use.
