About Magnofil Capsule

Magnofil Capsule belongs to the group of medicines called mineral supplements used to treat acute hypomagnesaemia, a condition characterized by abnormally low magnesium levels in the blood. It also treats stomach upset, heartburn, and acid indigestion. It may also be used for rapid emptying of the bowel before surgery and as a laxative to treat occasional constipation.

Magnofil Capsule contains Magnesium oxide, which is involved in various body processes such as hormone receptor binding, muscular contraction, neuronal activity, neurotransmitter release, and vasomotor tone. It is an alkaliser that neutralises acid in the stomach, thereby treating heartburn, stomach upset, and indigestion. Magnesium oxide treats constipation by drawing water into the intestine and stimulating bowel movement.

Take Magnofil Capsule as recommended. Like all medicines, Magnofil Capsule also causes side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects of Magnofil Capsule include diarrhoea and cramps. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, if these side effects persist for longer, please seek medical advice.

Do not take Magnofil Capsule if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. If you are pregnant/breastfeeding or have a kidney, heart, or liver problem, please inform your doctor before starting Magnofil Capsule . It is unknown whether Magnofil Capsule alters the ability to drive, so do not drive or operate machinery if you experience any symptoms affecting your ability to concentrate and react. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Magnofil Capsule as it could lead to unpleasant side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypomagnesaemia: It is a condition that occurs when a person has abnormally low blood levels of magnesium. This occurs when a person does not get enough magnesium through diet, or he/she is unable to absorb magnesium properly. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, weakness, personality changes, tremor, fatigue, seizures, irregular heartbeat, and high blood pressure.

Constipation: It refers to infrequent bowel movements in which stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Constipation is a condition in which the person has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. However, bowel patterns may vary from person to person. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete.

Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets irritated or eroded, which leads to complications like heartburn, stomach upset, and acid indigestion. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.
