Claims13
A method of treating a human patient suffering from magnesium/potassium deficiency, said method comprising the step of orally administering to such human patient a therapeutically meaningful dosage of a pharmaceutical composition which consists essentially of a magnesium compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide and pharmaceutically-acceptable salt of magnesium, and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier, said pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier functioning to control the release of magnesium into the digestive tract of said human patient over a period of from 2 to 24 hours.
A method as claimed in cliam 7, wherein said coating consists of a material selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated castor oil, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl distearate, 12-hydroxystearly alcohol and microcrystalline wax.
A method of treating a human patient suffering from magnesium/potassium deficiency, said method comprising the step of orally administering to such human patient a therapeutically meaningful dosage of a pharmaceutical composition which consists essentially of a magnesium compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide and a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt of magnesium;
- a cardiac glycoside agent;
- and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier;
- said pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier functioning to control the release of magnesium into the digestive tract of said human patient over a period of from 2 to 24 hours.
