About MG 400 Tablet

MG 400 Tablet is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It reduces pregnancy-induced leg cramps and also eases menstrual cramps. It prevents and controls seizures (fits) in preeclampsia and eclampsia, serious complications in pregnancy that occur due to high blood pressure. MG 400 Tablet is also used to treat acute hypomagnesaemia, characterized by abnormally low magnesium levels in the blood.

MG 400 Tablet contains Magnesium bisglycinate. It is a mineral supplement and an electrolyte. It helps lower prostaglandins (inflammation-causing substances) and reduces menstrual cramps. Magnesium deficiency is related to the muscle relaxation process; hence its supplementation regulates muscular contractions and avoids cramping during pregnancy.
