Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Magnesium Verla is an authorised Irish medicine. It is non-prescription but restricted to supply through pharmacies.
If you believe you may have magnesium deficiency but do not know the cause, ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice, particularly if symptoms are persistent.
People with kidney problems require particular caution because the kidneys are responsible for eliminating magnesium. The current product information advises caution in impaired renal function and consideration of electrolyte monitoring.
Magnesium can also affect the absorption of certain medicines and supplements. The current Irish SPC specifies a 3–4 hour interval between Magnesium Verla and tetracyclines, iron or sodium fluoride preparations.
