Filed:

May 6, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/123285

Inventors:

Christopher Offen - Marietta GA, US
Stephen Brandon - Roanoke TX, US

International Classification:

A61K 31/19

US Classification:

514557000

Abstract:

A method for the treatment of depleted intracellular and serum magnesium levels by administration of a highly bioavailable magnesium salt is disclosed. A prescription dispensing system is also disclosed. The highly bioavailable magnesium salt can be administered alone or as adjunctive therapy in conjunction with various medications that cause or exacerbate depleted intracellular magnesium levels, such as renal magnesium wasting medications, including diuretics, immunosuppressants, chemotherapeutic agents, and antibiotics. The highly bioavailable magnesium salt can also be used as adjunctive therapy in conjunction with Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs to attenuate the QTc interval and reduce the risk of fatal arrhythmias, which are a common risk associated with Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs. The administration of a highly bioavailable magnesium salt in accordance with the present invention also serves to restore intracellular potassium levels to normal ranges in patients who remain hypokalemic despite potassium therapy.
