Precautions for use

Ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before taking MAGNESIUM / VITAMIN B6 BIOGARAN. In the event of severe deficiency, treatment must be started by the venous route. The same applies in cases of malabsorption. In the case of associated calcium deficiency, it is recommended that, in most cases, magnesium repletion should be carried out before calcium therapy. Consumption of high doses of pyridoxine (or vitamin B6) over a long period (several months or even years) can cause tingling and balance problems, tremors in the hands and feet, and difficulties in coordinating movements. These effects are generally reversible when treatment is stopped. This medicine is reserved for adults and children over the age of 6. There are pharmaceutical forms more suitable for children under 6 years of age. In cases of moderate renal impairment, precautions should be taken to avoid the risk of increased magnesium levels in the blood. This medicine is not recommended for patients with galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose or galactose malabsorption syndrome (rare hereditary diseases).
