Neither one of these is 100% inclusive, but the Drugs.com link has improved significantly in the past year... so it has food interactions too.

Depletions lead to drug interactions or failures. That is a bit different in thrust, but still very important.

Magnesium is thought to be low in at least 70% of people in the US.... it is significant even when no drugs are at fault.
And for any diabetic ...magnesium is ALWAYS significant.

Magnesium depletion was the major reason Propulsid was recalled...and Propulsid remains the best treatment to date for gastroparesis... a very sad situation for many many patients, that the doctors refused to follow FDA warning letters in its use! IMO.

I have a magnesium thread here:

And I'll share some new info... CVS Epsom lotion is a nice product, very affordable and applies to skin providing some magnesium for muscles and cramping. I am using it now instead of some of my oral supplements. You might want to check it out: (unfortunately they don't provide dosing or quantity, but it seems to do the job when used on legs or arms for me.)

I get it locally, and this link, has price changes every week it seems for "sales" stimulus etc.
Thanks Mrs. D and Mike,

I have a very young neurologist but fortunately he is very detailed. I got all the info regarding grapefruit, magnesium, EKG, etc. Also I spent considerable time going through the lengthy package insert. I am a little concerned about the effects of dehydration which occasionally happens to me but feel confident that I can increase hydration while taking it.

I am concerned because, although the package insert did not list it, I found a website that cautioned against taking Namenda, which I take, with Nuedexta. My neuro indicated that the nuedexta would increase the effectiveness of the namenda. I also found a caution for Adderall, which I am also taking. I believe the website listed Adderall as having potentially serious drug interactions.

I am confused. I am putting a hold on taking it until I can track down more information.

I am still interested in feedback from others who are taking nuedexta.
