About Prostol Tablet

Prostol Tablet is a mineral supplement primarily 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. Prostol Tablet is also used to treat acute hypomagnesaemia, characterized by abnormally low magnesium levels in the blood.

Prostol 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. It is also involved in bone formation. It is used to relieve constipation with its laxative properties. It further prevents and controls seizures by blocking neuromuscular transmission (the transfer of nerve impulses to the heart).

You are advised to take Prostol Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it, depending on your medical condition. Common side effects of Prostol Tablet include stomach upset, nausea, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, if these side effects persist for a longer time, please seek medical advice.

Let your doctor know if you use any prescription and non-prescription medications, including other vitamins, before starting Prostol Tablet. Please do not skip or stop taking Prostol Tablet midway without consulting your doctor. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Prostol Tablet. It is not recommended to consume alcohol along with Prostol Tablet. Prostol Tablet is not recommended in children without a doctor's advice.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Nutritional deficiency: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. This condition occurs when a person's nutrient intake is lesser than the body's recommended requirement. It can lead to various health problems like a weak immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.

Pregnancy-induced leg cramps: Cramps are a sudden and sharp pain due to the painful, involuntary contraction of a muscle in the calf or feet. Cramps in pregnancy result from carrying extra weight, metabolic changes, and nutritional deficiencies. Stretching and massaging the calf muscles, moderate exercises, and nutritional supplements that include magnesium help treat these cramps.

Hypomagnesaemia: It is a condition that occurs when a person has abnormally low magnesium levels. This occurs when a person does not get enough magnesium in their diet or he/she is unable to absorb magnesium properly.
