Can I take Ezetimibe and Magnesium together?

Perché succede

Magnesium-containing antacids can physically bind to ezetimibe in the digestive tract or change the acidity of the stomach, which slightly reduces the rate at which the medicine enters the bloodstream.

You can take these together, but to be safe, you may wish to separate the doses by 2 to 4 hours. If you are taking magnesium as a daily supplement rather than an antacid, the interaction is even less likely to be significant. Continue to have your cholesterol levels monitored by your doctor as usual.

Malattia del fegato

You must not take ezetimibe if you have moderate or severe liver disease, as it can worsen your condition. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Severe kidney impairment

If you have severe kidney disease, you must avoid magnesium supplements unless specifically directed by a specialist. Your kidneys may not be able to remove excess magnesium, leading to dangerously high levels in the blood.

Dairy products and calcium-rich foods

High doses of calcium from dairy or supplements can compete with magnesium for absorption. If you are taking large amounts of both, it is best to space them at least 2 hours apart.

Alcol

Excessive alcohol consumption can increase the amount of magnesium your body loses through urine, potentially making the supplement less effective over time.
