Consumer:Using doxercalciferol together with magnesium chloride can lead to elevated magnesium blood levels, particularly in individuals with reduced kidney function. Symptoms of high magnesium levels may include nausea, vomiting, flushing, drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, muscle weakness, reduced reflexes, low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and impaired breathing. You should seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms. If you are on dialysis and treated with doxercalciferol or other vitamin D medications, you should generally avoid taking products that contain magnesium without first talking to your doctor, as high levels of magnesium over time can lead to bone problems. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:GENERALLY AVOID: Use of magnesium-containing products with a vitamin D analog may increase the risk of hypermagnesemia, particularly in chronic renal dialysis patients, due to potentially additive pharmacologic effects. Chronic hypermagnesemia may have a role in the pathogenesis of adynamic bone disease in dialysis patients.
MANAGEMENT: Patients on chronic renal dialysis treated with a vitamin D analog should avoid magnesium-containing products.
