Wes asked
Is there a interaction in using clonazepam and magnesium oxide?
Answer
There are no known interactions when taking clonazepam and magnesium oxide. In fact, each tablet of clonazepam also contains magnesium stearate, lactose, cellulose, and corn starch.
Below I will discuss the common reactions and common drugs to avoid for both clonazepam and magnesium oxide.
Klonopin (clonazepam) is a drug that is commonly used to treat a various anxiety, seizure, sleeping, and panic disorders. Clonazepam commonly causes:
- Drowsiness and dizziness (from lowered blood pressure)
- Impaired coordination and concentration
- Confusion
- Fatigue
- Appetite changes
- Constipation
- Depression
Use caution or alter treatment when taking clonazepam and other sedating drugs. Ask your doctor before taking and over the counter sleeping or cold medications. You should also avoid consuming alcohol while taking clonazepam.
Magnesium Oxide is a mineral used as a dietary supplement to increase magnesium levels in the body. Magnesium is responsible for primarily systems of the muscles and nerves. The common reactions when taking this medication include:
- Diarrhea
- Nausea and vomiting
- Gastrointestinal (GI) irritation
- Weakness
Taking magnesium oxide may interfere with tetracycline, nitrofurantoin, and fluoroquinolone antibiotics and digoxin.
