Always tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicine. (This includes all complementary and traditional medicines).

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are currently taking;

• Antibiotics (Aminoglycoside antibiotics). Some antibiotics can affect the muscles. These antibiotics are called aminoglycosides. The use of magnesium, as in GENOLOGIX BODYMAG, in conjunction with these antibiotics might cause muscle problems
• Antacids might reduce the laxative effects of magnesium. People taking magnesium as a laxative might require a higher dose
• Bisphosphonates: The use of magnesium, as in GENOLOGIX BODYMAG, in conjunction with bisphosphonates may contribute to reduced absorption of bisphosphonates.
• Digoxin: Digoxin helps the heart beat more strongly. The use of magnesium, as in GENOLOGIX BODYMAG, in conjunction with digoxin might decrease how much digoxin the body absorbs. This might decrease the effects of digoxin.
• Gabapentin: The use of magnesium, as in GENOLOGIX BODYMAG, in conjunction with gabapentin might decrease how much gabapentin the body absorbs. This might decrease the effects of gabapentin. Take gabapentin at least 2 hours before, or 4 to 6 hours after, taking magnesium as in GENOLOGIX BODYMAG.
