Effects of peroral magnesium on plasma and skeletal muscle electrolytes in patients on long-term diuretic therapy
1988
Abstract Twenty patients on long-term diuretic therapy for arterial hypertension and/or congestive heart failure were given a supplementary dose of 15 mmol magnesium aspartate hydrochloride per day for 6 months. Nineteen patients, fulfilling the same admission criteria as the treatment group, served as controls. The addition of magnesium aspartate hydrochloride resulted in a significant rise of the cellular potassium and magnesium content and in a significant decrease of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It is concluded that supplementation with magnesium aspartate hydrochloride may effectively prevent the diuretic induced disturbances of electrolyte balance.
