A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Using magnesium hydroxide together with magnesium chloride can lead to elevated magnesium blood levels, particularly in people 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. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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.

MONITOR: The concomitant administration of magnesium salts with other magnesium-containing preparations such as antacids or laxatives may increase the risk of magnesium toxicity, particularly in the presence of renal insufficiency. Magnesium toxicity may result in respiratory depression, neuromuscular depression, and heart block.

MANAGEMENT: Clinical and laboratory monitoring for signs of hypermagnesemia and magnesium toxicity is advisable, especially in high-risk patients (e.g., elderly or renally impaired patients).
