MAG2 2.25 g powder for oral solution
Magnesium pidolate


What is it and what is it used for?
MAG2 is an oral medicine that contains magnesium pidolate as the active ingredient.
This medicine is used to treat symptoms of magnesium deficiency, such as fatigue, muscle weakness, and cramps, which can be caused by various factors, such as stress, an unbalanced diet, or pregnancy. MAG2 allows for the rapid restoration of the body's required magnesium intake (physiological magnesium intake), ensuring effective treatment for magnesium deficiency.

Other symptoms caused by magnesium deficiency may include irritability, nervousness, stomach and intestinal problems, and irregular heartbeat.
In all these cases it is necessary to take magnesium to obtain an improvement in the symptoms.

For further information, see the "Health Education Notes" section.

Talk to your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after a short time of treatment.
