1/4 In case of mild and moderate renal impairment, Magnesium Verla Film-coated Tablets should only be taken with special caution and under medical supervision. Magnesium can accumulate in the body.

Taking Magnesium Verla Film-coated Tablets together with other medicines

Magnesium Verla Film-coated Tablets should be taken at a time interval of about 3-4 hours from certain antibiotics (tetracyclines), iron or certain medicines for osteoporosis (sodium fluoride preparations) in order to avoid mutual interference with absorption into the blood.

Magnesium Verla Film-coated Tablets may be taken during pregnancy or while breast-feeding.

How should Magnesium Verla Film-coated Tablets be taken?

Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Adults and adolescents over 14 years:
1-2 film-coated tablets 3 times a day

Children aged 10-14 years:
1 film-coated tablet 2-3 times a day

Children aged 6-9 years:
1 film-coated tablet 1-2 times a day

Children under 6 years:
There is insufficient experience with the use of Magnesium Verla Film-coated Tablets in children under 6 years of age. Magnesium Verla Film-coated Tablets should therefore not be taken by children under 6 years of age.

2/4

Type and duration of use
The film-coated tablets should be taken whole with a little water.
Magnesium Verla Film-coated Tablets should be taken before meals, as this improves the absorption of magnesium into the bloodstream.
A period of use of 4 weeks is recommended. Even long-term therapy (over years) is harmless in the case of normal renal function, as excess magnesium is excreted via the kidneys.

If you have taken more Magnesium Verla Film-coated Tablets than you should,
the side effects (diarrhoea) may be intensified.
Other symptoms such as severe fatigue are only to be expected in the case of long-term overdose and primarily in patients with impaired renal function. In the case of severe renal impairment with impaired excretion, magnesium can accumulate in the body and lead to symptoms of poisoning (drop in blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, impairment of the central nervous system, reduced reflexes, ECG changes, incipient respiratory depression, coma, cardiac arrest, respiratory paralysis). In such cases, contact your doctor.

If you forget to take Magnesium Verla Film-coated Tablets,
continue taking the medicine as usual. Do not take twice the amount if you have forgotten to take the previous dose.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
