1 1-DAY VISUS 3D INTENSIVE COURSE ΠΡΟΓΡΑΜΜΑ ΣΥΝΕΔΡΙΟΥ CONGRESS PROGRAM

2 Η σύγχρονη µαγνησιοθεραπεία Eύκολα στη χρήση, πόσιµα φιαλίδια µίας δόσης Xωρίς ζάχαρη MAG2/adv02/02-12 Eυχάριστη γεύση πορτοκαλιού Ιδιότητες: Το µαγνήσιο είναι απαραίτητο στοιχείο για τη ζωή των ανθρώπων γιατί ένας µεγάλος αριθµός µεταβολικών διεργασιών εξαρτάται από το στοιχείο αυτό. Κλινικές µελέτες έδειξαν πως η µείωση του µαγνησίου στον ανθρώπινο οργανισµό οδηγεί σε νέκρωση των ιστών του µυοκαρδίου. Η µαγνησιοπενία συνοδεύεται από αυξηµένο κίνδυνο θροµβώσεως. Ενδείξεις: Θεραπεία συµπτωµατικής υποµαγνησιαιµίας, η οποία εκδηλώνεται πιθανώς µέσω διάφορων µη ειδικών συµπτωµάτων: νευροµυϊκή υπερδιεγερσιµότητα (µυϊκές κράµπες, τετανία, υπερβολικά αυξηµένα αντανακλαστικά οστικών τενόντων), διαταραχές καρδιακού ρυθµού (αρρυθµία, ταχυκαρδία), διαταραχές γαστρεντερικής οδού (σπασµοί). Πρόληψη έλλειψης µαγνησίου, π.χ.: - Επί µη ισορροπηµένης διατροφής, δυσαπορρόφησης, χρόνιας διάρροιας, αλκοολισµού ή σακχαρώδους διαβήτη (αυξηµένη µαγνησιουρία), - Επί φαρµακευτικής αγωγής, η οποία προκαλεί αυξηµένη µαγνησιουρία, όπως για παράδειγµα: διουρητικά, κυκλοσπορίνη A, αντιβιοτικά της οµάδας των αµινογλυκοσιδών (γενταµικίνη), σκευάσµατα διγοξίνης. Αντενδείξεις: Βαριά καρδιακή και νεφρική (κάθαρση κρεατινίνης <30 ml/min) ανεπάρκεια. Αφυδάτωση, προδιάθεση για λιθίαση από µετά ασβεστίου (ή µαγνησίου) άλας φωσφορικού αµµώνιου, οξεία λοίµωξη ουροφόρων οδών. Υπερευαισθησία στη δραστική ουσία ή σε κάποιο από τα έκδοχα. Ανεπιθύµητες ενέργειες: Γαστρεντερικές διαταραχές. Όχι συχνά µπορούν να εµφανιστούν διαταραχές από το πεπτικό (διάρροια, κοιλιακό άλγος), οι οποίες αποδίδονται σε υψηλή δόση ή σε δυσανεξία σε ένα συστατικό του MAG-2. Περιστατικά υπερευαισθησίας στο pidolate ή σε κάποιο έκδοχο του MAG-2 έχουν αναφερθεί µόνο σε σπάνιες περιπτώσεις. Στις περιπτώσεις αυτές συνιστάται η διακοπή του προϊόντος και η χορήγηση ενός από του στόµατος ή παρεντερικώς χορηγούµενου αντιισταµινικού. Υπερµαγνησιαιµία από υπέρµετρη χορήγηση µπορεί να προκαλέσει αναπνευστική µυϊκή παράλυση, διαταραχή του καρδιακού ρυθµού, κολποκοιλιακό αποκλεισµό, καρδιακή ανακοπή. Η τοξική δράση του στην καρδιά είναι συχνότερη µε ταυτόχρονη χορήγηση δαχτυλίτιδος. Ύστερα από παρατεταµένη θεραπεία ή υπερβολική δοσολογία είναι δυνατόν να εµφανισθούν συµπτώµατα κοπώσεως, τα οποία είναι ενδεικτικά ανωµάλως αυξηµένων συγκεντρώσεων µαγνησίου στον ορό του αίµατος. Τα συµπτώµατα εξαφανίζονται µε την προσωρινή διακοπή της θεραπείας και ελέγχονται ξανά τα επίπεδα του µαγνησίου. Αλληλεπιδράσεις µε άλλα φάρµακα: Σε περίπτωση λήψης τετρακυκλινών, πρέπει να µεσολαβούν τουλάχιστον 3 ώρες µεταξύ της χορήγησης των δύο φαρµάκων. Οµοίως για τα διφωσφονικά. Το µαγνήσιο µπορεί να περιορίσει, λόγω ανταγωνισµού, την απορρόφηση ορισµένων ουσιών από τη γαστρεντερική οδό. Συνεπώς συνιστάται όπως αναβάλλεται, για τουλάχιστον τρεις ώρες, η πρόσληψη σιδήρου ή ασβεστίου (µόνον επί υψηλών δόσεων). Επίσης, να µη χορηγείται παρεντερικά µαγνήσιο ταυτόχρονα µε τη λήψη από το στόµα. Η συγχορήγηση µαγνησίου και χοληκαλσιφερόλης µπορεί να προκαλέσει υπερασβεστιαιµία. Δοσολογία: Η µέση ηµερήσια ανάγκη των ενηλίκων ποικίλει µεταξύ 400 και 600 mg µαγνησίου. Η µέση κανονική ανθρώπινη δίαιτα περιέχει αρκετές ποσότητες µαγνησίου για την κάλυψη των καθηµερινών µεταβολικών αναγκών. Η δοσολογία πρέπει να καθορίζεται από τον ιατρό, ανάλογα µε την έλλειψη του οργανισµού σε µαγνήσιο. Συνιστώµενη ηµερήσια δοσολογία: Ενήλικες και νέοι άνω των 15 ετών: 10 ml, τρεις φορές ηµερησίως Παιδιά και νέοι 2 ½ - 15 ετών: 10 ml, δυο φορές ηµερησίως Παιδιά έως 2 ½ ετών: 5 10 ml, µια φορά ηµερησίως Θεραπεία συντήρησης και πρόληψης: 10 ml, µια έως δύο φορές ηµερησίως ΚΑΤΟΧΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΑΔΕΙΑΣ ΚΥΚΛΟΦΟΡΙΑΣ: GALENICA A.Ε., Ελεθερίας 4, Κηφισιά, Τηλ: Το προϊόν αυτό χορηγείται µε ιατρική συνταγή.
