Start at one SlowMag twice a day. That is the basic dose.

You take Tegretol? That can cause hyponatremia...your doctor should know that.

Cutting back on salt is not a good idea with this drug.
People who get hyponatremia are often taken off this treatment.

SlowMag brand is 9.99 at WalMart. If they are out of it, ask the pharmacy to order it for you. Typically it is on the OTC shelf.
There is a generic called Mag64...but it is almost the same price.
In general the highest prices are at GNC and RiteAid for EVERYTHING!
