Interaction evidence

These are general, pairwise evidence notes. Green identifies the potential-synergy category, while Lv3/Lv2/Lv1 communicates evidence strength; it does not guarantee benefit or cancel a safety warning.

With tetracycline or fluoroquinolone antibiotics

Safety flag

Oral magnesium can bind these antibiotics and reduce absorption of both products.

Interaction evidence source

With levothyroxine

Safety flag

Magnesium-containing oral products can reduce levothyroxine absorption.

Interaction evidence source

With Vitamin D

Complementary evidenceLv3

A randomized human trial found magnesium plus vitamin D increased serum vitamin D status more than vitamin D alone.
