Magnesium taken with other afib meds?

Does magnesium work well when taking, bisoprolol, flecanaide, and xeralto?

I started recently taking 250 mg a day with these meds, as I heard lots of good results from this forum and my cardiologist. Marney

why take Mg.together with medicines? You can take it separately for example at lunch time when you do not use medicines.

Yes. I take it a few hours between afib meds. I should have mentioned that. I was wondering how it reacts with these afib meds I take on an ongoing basis. Marney

I have been advised by Dr Gupta that it's always worth taking magnesium as many people relort general improvement in health. I'm on flecainide and warfarin. At the moment I use a magnesium spray on my knees and hips equivalent to 200mg. ( how that compares with oral absorption I don't know). Can't say I notice any change except maybe fewer ectopics which vary anyway. Makes me feel Im at least trying!!

Always discuss any supplements with your medical team please.

Yes always discuss with docs, as we did, renal disease won’t tolerate too much magnesium as it will have a culminative action
