Default Lax

couldnt resist starting with that title. Kids just so you know the supplement magnesium will cause the same side effect as good old MOM (milk of magnesia) so start it slow and work up to a dose that helps the muscle pain without causing the "scoots"
Also check a good web site like drugs.com for interactions with any herbal supplements and any medications you take. Some of them can be very nasty! Also be sure to let your doc know about the supplements you take as well as the perscription meds so they dont throw something into the mix that will cause problems

So on point Pooh! Gotta be mindful of possible interactions and make disclosure to the Doc just to make sure something untoward or unanticipated is not in store by adding LAX to the MIX. Careful about a LAX MIX!

Most interactions are on your pharmacy pamphlet that comes with your RX. For example, magnesium would block absorption of Neurontin (often used for pain).

Calcium blocks Cipro and thyroid, tetracycline therapy, etc.

Too much folate may block anti-seizure drugs effectiveness.

And there is a whole discipline now of drugs that block nutrient effectiveness.

I have found very few doctors who know this exists!

The problem with asking is that many times, there is no answer for you...many doctors remain clueless. The pharmacy will have a data base (if it is a large chain type) to look things up for you and the net has information.

Today, the knife cuts both ways! Your drugs may be doing more harm to you than your realize!
