Release form

The liquid form of the drug is a brown clear liquid that smells like caramel. It is poured into glass brown ampoules, in which both ends are sharp and marked with rings in places where they should be broken off.
One cardboard pack of solution “Magne B6” contains 10 such ampoules.

Composition

The solution contains two active ingredients. The first of these is magnesium, which is represented immediately by two compounds - pidolatom and lactate dihydrate. Their number in one ampoule is exactly that which allows the patient to receive magnesium in a dose of 100 mg from 10 ml of solution.
The second active ingredient of the drug, as the name suggests, is vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine hydrochloride. Its dosage in one ampoule is 10 mg. Additionally, the solution contains saccharinate and sodium disulfite. So that the product has a pleasant smell, cherry flavoring and caramel flavoring are added to these ingredients, and the rest of the ampoule content is represented by purified water.

Operating principle

Magnesium is important for the normal functioning of the body of adults and children. This element is involved in various metabolic reactions and provides the function of many cells. It is necessary for muscle contraction and the activation of many enzymes, and it is also necessary that nerve cells normally conduct nerve impulses.
A person should receive magnesium from food, and its shortage is triggered by either insufficient intake (for example, if the child is malnourished) or increased need (for example, if the patient has significant stress, stress, laxatives, diuretics, etc.).
    Adding pyridoxine to the solution helps magnesium to be better absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and penetrate into those cells where this element acts. This vitamin is also important for metabolic processes, including metabolism in the tissues of the nervous system.

Indications

The reason for the child to be assigned to solution Magne B6 is the magnesium deficiency found in the blood test, which manifests itself in sleep disorders, severe irritability, spasms in the intestines or muscles, accelerated heartbeat, fatigue, tingling muscles and other symptoms. The drug is also used at high risk of magnesium deficiency, for example, if a child is prescribed diuretic drugs, he is undernourished or under stress.
Many neurologists prescribe solution "Magne B6" to children without prior blood analysis, as this drug has shown its positive effect on the nervous system of babies. Acceptance of such a solution improves sleep, reduces moods and nervousness, and also helps to cope with many neurological pathologies, for example, with a nervous tic.

From what age is prescribed?

“Magne B6” in liquid form is allowed to give to children older than one year, if their weight is more than 10 kilogram. For infants such a drug is not prescribed, and for a child of 1-6 years, a doctor must always prescribe it.
    The use of such a solution in children under six years old is not recommended without consulting a neurologist, pediatrician or other specialist.

Contraindications

The drug should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to magnesium or another component of the solution.
    If a child has developed renal failure in a severe degree, “Magne B6” solution is not prescribed, and in case of a moderate disruption of the work of the kidneys, the medicine should be administered under the supervision of a doctor, since such children have a risk of increasing the magnesium level in the blood.

Side effects

During treatment, solution "Magne B6" may cause itching, bronchospasm, urticaria and other allergic reactions of varying severity. In such cases, the medication is immediately canceled and, if allergy is expressed, consult a doctor.
The digestive system of some children reacts to the solution with diarrhea or abdominal pain. With the appearance of these symptoms, taking the drug should also be abandoned.

Instructions for use

“Magne B6” in the form of a solution should be taken orally during meals. The dosage for each child is determined individually. It is calculated taking into account the patient's age and his body weight, prescribing from 10 to 30 mg of magnesium per kilogram. The daily dose of the drug is divided into 2-3 doses.
    To open the ampoule, do not use any sharp objects. It is enough to break off one tip, clasping it with your fingers and making a sharp movement to the side - it should break along the drawn line. In order not to get hurt when breaking off, it is recommended to wrap the end of the ampoule with a piece of cloth, and then break the glass.
Next, the ampoule should be sent to the glass with a broken end (for dilution of the solution, take about 100 ml of water). At the same time, it is necessary to diagonally rotate the ampoule in the hands so that the upper end (not yet broken off) is not above the glass. As soon as you break off the second tip of the ampoule, the solution inside will immediately flow into the water. Having mixed it, it is necessary to give medicine to the child.
If the patient is prescribed less than 10 ml of solution per reception, then it is recommended to select the right amount of medication using a syringe with a needle. After breaking off one end of the ampoule, the needle is inserted inside and the right amount of liquid “Magne B6” is poured, after which the solution is poured from the syringe into a glass of water, mixed and given to the baby to drink.
    How long a child should take "Magne B6" solution should be clarified with the doctor, because many factors affect the duration of the course.
If the drug is used with laboratory-confirmed magnesium deficiency, then its reception is stopped as soon as the level of this element in the blood becomes normal, and the symptoms of shortage disappear. For the prevention of magnesium deficiency, the solution is given to children 2-4 weeks.

Overdose

Too high dosage of magnesium, which the child can get from a large amount of Magne B6 solution, provokes a decrease in blood pressure, nausea, CNS depression and other symptoms of poisoning.
    To prevent an overdose, the medicine should be stored in a place where the child can not get it on their own.

Drug interactions

The drug is incompatible with levodopa and should not be combined with drugs that contain calcium salts or phosphates.
    If “Magne B6” solution was prescribed together with tetracyclines, then there should be a break of at least 3 hours between taking such drugs, since magnesium will interfere with the absorption of antibiotics in normal amounts.

Storage conditions

It is recommended to store Magne B6 solution at home at a temperature of up to +25 degrees Celsius by placing the medicine package in a dry place. The shelf life of the solution in sealed ampoules is 3 years. If it has expired, you cannot give medicine to the child.
