Indications

Magnesium Glycerophosphate chewable tablets contain magnesium, a mineral the body needs for many of its activities, especially the working of nerves and muscles. The tablets are given to top up magnesium when the level in the body has fallen too low.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Magnesium Chewable Tablets haven't been properly studied for effectiveness and safety in pregnant women, though magnesium salts are routinely used to treat preeclampsia (a rise in blood pressure, with protein in the urine, during pregnancy). So the tablets should only be used in pregnancy if your doctor has decided that the benefits of treatment outweigh any potential risks. They can be used during breast-feeding. Long-term experience shows no effects from magnesium on male or female fertility are expected.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
