Magnesium carbonate: Drug information

Magnesium carbonate: Drug information
(For additional information see "Magnesium carbonate: Pediatric drug information" and see "Magnesium carbonate: Patient drug information")

For abbreviations, symbols, and age group definitions used in Lexicomp (show table)
Brand Names: US
  • Magonate [OTC]
Pharmacologic Category
  • Electrolyte Supplement, Oral;
  • Magnesium Salt
Dosing: Adult
Dietary supplement

Dietary supplement: Oral (liquid): 5 mL (54 mg of elemental magnesium) up to 3 times daily.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Adult

There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; however, magnesium is renally excreted. Use caution; accumulation of magnesium in renal impairment may lead to magnesium toxicity.

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Adult

There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling.

Dosing: Older Adult

Refer to adult dosing.

Dosing: Pediatric

(For additional information see "Magnesium carbonate: Pediatric drug information")

Note : 5 mL of Magonate (magnesium carbonate) suspension = 54 mg elemental magnesium = 4.44 mEq elemental magnesium.

Hypomagnesemia

Hypomagnesemia: Limited data available: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: Dose expressed as elemental magnesium: Oral: 10 to 20 mg/kg/dose up to 4 times daily; usual adult dose: 300 mg 4 times daily (Ref). Note: Achieving optimal magnesium levels using oral therapy may be difficult due to the propensity for magnesium to cause diarrhea; IV replacement may be more appropriate particularly in situations of severe deficit.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Pediatric

There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; however, magnesium is renally excreted. Use caution; accumulation of magnesium in renal impairment may lead to magnesium toxicity.

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Pediatric

There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling.

Adverse Reactions

No adverse reactions listed in the manufacturer's labeling.

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• GI effects: Diarrhea may occur with high doses of magnesium.

Disease-related concerns:

• Renal impairment: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment; accumulation of magnesium may lead to magnesium intoxication.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Benzyl alcohol and derivatives: Some dosage forms may contain sodium benzoate/benzoic acid; benzoic acid (benzoate) is a metabolite of benzyl alcohol; large amounts of benzyl alcohol (≥99 mg/kg/day) have been associated with a potentially fatal toxicity (“gasping syndrome”) in neonates; the “gasping syndrome” consists of metabolic acidosis, respiratory distress, gasping respirations, CNS dysfunction (including convulsions, intracranial hemorrhage), hypotension, and cardiovascular collapse (AAP ["Inactive" 1997]; CDC 1982); some data suggests that benzoate displaces bilirubin from protein binding sites (Ahlfors 2001); avoid or use dosage forms containing benzyl alcohol derivative with caution in neonates. See manufacturer's labeling.

Warnings: Additional Pediatric Considerations

Multiple salt forms of magnesium exist; close attention must be paid to the salt form when ordering and administering magnesium; incorrect selection or substitution of one salt for another without proper dosage adjustment may result in serious over- or underdosing.

Dosage Forms Considerations

Elemental magnesium 54 mg = magnesium 4.44 mEq = magnesium 2.22 mmol.

Pregnancy Considerations

Magnesium crosses the placenta; serum concentrations in the fetus are similar to those in the mother (Idama 1998; Osada 2002).

Breastfeeding Considerations

Magnesium is found in breast milk; concentrations remain constant during the first year of lactation and are not influenced by dietary intake under normal conditions. Magnesium requirements are the same in lactating and nonlactating females (IOM 1997).

Dietary Considerations

Whole grains, legumes, and dark-green leafy vegetables are dietary sources of magnesium (IOM 1997).

Adequate intake (AI) (elemental magnesium) (IOM 1997):

1 to 6 months: 30 mg/day

7 to 12 months: 75 mg/day

Dietary recommended daily allowance (RDA) (elemental magnesium) (IOM 1997) :

1 to 3 years: 80 mg/day

4 to 8 years: 130 mg/day

9 to 13 years: 240 mg/day

14 to 18 years:

Females: 360 mg/day

Pregnancy: 400 mg/day

Lactation: 360 mg/day

Males: 410 mg/day

19 to 30 years:

Females: 310 mg/day

Pregnancy: 350 mg/day

Lactation: 310 mg/day

Males: 400 mg/day

Adults ≥31 years:

Females: 320 mg/day

Pregnancy: 360 mg/day

Lactation: 320 mg/day

Males: 420 mg/day

Reference Range

Serum magnesium: 1.5 to 2.5 mg/dL; slightly different ranges are reported by different laboratories.

Mechanism of Action

Magnesium is important as a cofactor in many enzymatic reactions in the body involving protein synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism (at least 300 enzymatic reactions require magnesium). Actions on lipoprotein lipase have been found to be important in reducing serum cholesterol and on sodium/potassium ATPase in promoting polarization (eg, neuromuscular functioning).

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Absorption: Oral: Primary site of absorption of the magnesium cation is in the distal small intestine; some insignificant absorption occurs in the colon (Ranade 2001).

Protein binding: ~ 33% bound to albumin (Ranade 2001).

Excretion: Urine (almost exclusively) (Ranade 2001).
