1. What is Panangin?
Panangin has ingredients in each film-coated tablet including 140mg anhydrous magnesium aspartate (exists as 175mg of magnesium aspartate.4H2O), equivalent to 11.8mg of Mg2+ and 158mg of anhydrous Potassium aspartate (available as 166.3mg of Potassium aspartate) aspartate.1/2H2O) is equivalent to 36.2 mg K+.

Mg2+ and K+ are intracellular cations that are important in the function of many enzymes, in the macromolecule binding to elements of Cells, mechanism of muscle contraction. Myocardial contraction will be affected by the ratio of the intracellular and extracellular concentrations of ions such as: K+, Ca2+, Na+.
2. Uses of Panangin

Prevention and treatment of magnesium deficiency conditions , increase potassium and magnesium requirements, increase consumption of deficient ions, patients lose significant electrolytes. In treatment with cardiac glycosides, Panangin helps to compensate for the decrease in the concentration of K+ and Mg2+ ions of spinal muscle, myocardium, plasma and red blood cells caused by the drug.
