Tri-Mag

• Contributes to the maintenance of good health
• Helps to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins
• Contributes to tissue formation
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function;
• Helps with the absorption of calcium and phosphorous by the body
• To support normal motility
• Magnesium combined with vitamin D contribute to the development and maintenance of bones and teeth

Take 2 (two) capsules orally once a day with a glass of water,

Or consult your healthcare provider.

Take with meals to reduce gastrointestinal effects.

Other medicines may affect THE REAL THING TRI-MAG CAPSULES:

• Potassium-sparing diuretics and boron might increase your magnesium levels.
• High doses of calcium or zinc may decrease your magnesium levels.
• Aminoglycoside antibiotics and amphotericin B can cause reduced kidney function, which causes increased loss of electrolytes such as magnesium.
• Cetuximab, corticosteroids, digoxin, some diuretics, panitumumab, pentamidine, tacrolimus, cyclosporine and Foscarnet may cause increased loss of magnesium.
• Oestrogens reduce serum levels of magnesium by increasing its uptake into body tissues.
• Proton pump inhibitors can cause low blood levels of magnesium.
• Penicillamine can reduce absorption of magnesium.
• High doses of sodium phosphates deplete your magnesium
• Calcipotriene taken with vitamin D increases the risk of high calcium levels.
• Orlistat decreases the absorption and blood levels of vitamin D. *Take these at least 2 hours apart.

THE REAL THING TRI-MAG CAPSULES may affect other medicines:

• Magnesium can decrease the absorption of bisphosphonates and tetracyclines; separate doses by at least 2 hours.
• Magnesium can form insoluble complexes with quinolones and decrease their absorption; take quinolones at least 2 hours before, or 4-6 hours after magnesium.
• Magnesium can increase the absorption of sulfonylureas, thereby increasing their effects and side effects.
• Vitamin D can increase magnesium absorption.
• Vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium in the small intestine. Hypercalcaemia induced by high-doses vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of verapamil for arrhythmia.
• There is an increased risk of hypercalcaemia if vitamin D is given with thiazide diuretics, calcium or phosphate. Monitor your calcium intake.

Do not take if you:

• Allergic or hypersensitive to magnesium (bis)glycinate, magnesium citrate, magnesium malate, vitamin D3 or any of the other ingredients
• Have hypercalcaemia (abnormally high level of circulating calcium in the blood).

Not suitable for use in children younger than 9 years.
