If you mix it with other things in a pill dispenser, you might find it ruining other drugs/supplements. Once you open the bottle if you can add some dryness canisters (you can ask your pharmacist to save some for you), it might last longer. I didn't use every day, because I am very sensitive to the oral mag laxative action. Others here may be less sensitive. People on opiates or high dose Tramadol may favor the laxative actions. I much prefer the topical Morton's lotion + nuts and high mag containing foods. This way I don't get so upset.
Mag64 is a money saver depending on where you purchase it.
The best price I found is at Costco on special order! I used to get it for around 5 bucks a bottle there. SlowMag brand name is a good buy at WalMart, even if they order it for you especially.

Mrs. D:
Just curious - do you know of any scientific studies that have documented the absorption of magnesium through the skin? I use the Morton's lotion and it sometimes does seem to reduce the pain to some extent - but there seems to be a great deal of debate regarding whether or not magnesium is actually absorbed through the skin. All of the information I've seen on this comes from those who have a vested interest, so I don't consider it trustworthy.
