Magnesium gluconate Disease Interactions

There is 1 disease interaction with magnesium gluconate.

Major

Magnesium salts (applies to magnesium gluconate) renal dysfunction

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility.

Magnesium is eliminated by the kidney. The serum concentration of magnesium is increased in patients with renal impairment. Magnesium toxicity includes CNS depression, muscular paralysis, respiratory depression, hypotension and prolonged cardiac conduction time. Disappearance of the patellar reflex is a useful clinical sign of magnesium intoxication. Therapy with magnesium should be administered cautiously and dosages should be modified in patients with compromised renal function. Clinical monitoring of serum magnesium levels is recommended.
