Pharmaceutical Information
Drug Name Magnesium
Drug ID BADD_D02569
Description Magnesium is classified as an alkaline earth metal and has 2 hydration shells.[A19349] The element can be found in abundance in the hydrosphere and in mineral salts such as dolomite and magnesium carbonate.[A19349] Common dietary sources of magnesium include nuts (cashews, peanuts, almonds), beans, bananas, apples, carrots, broccoli, and leafy greens.[A188120,L2601] Magnesium is an important enzyme cofactor and is essential to several metabolic processes.[A32810] Further, the mineral helps regulate blood pressure and is necessary for RNA, DNA and protein synthesis among several other functions.[A32810] Despite the importance of magnesium and its availability via several food sources, an estimated 56 to 68% of adults who live in developed, western countries do not meet the recommended daily intake (RDI) of magnesium.[A39559] Several factors and common behaviours reduce the availability of magnesium in the diet such as food processing and cooking vegetables (which are normally a rich source of magnesium).[A39559]
Indications and Usage Healthy levels of magnesium can be achieved through a well balanced diet, but if food sources are insufficient, magnesium supplements can be used to prevent and treat magnesium deficiencies.[L2601] In medicine, various magnesium salts may be used in laxative and antacid products.[A19349] For example, [magnesium citrate] is available over-the-counter and may be used to manage occasional constipation.[L10349] [Magnesium sulfate] may be used on its own or with total parenteral nutrition to treat hypomagnesemia.[L10355] [Magnesium sulfate] is also indicated to prevent seizures in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia, and to manage seizures associated with eclampsia.[A188087,L10355]
