Magnesium supplements are generally safe with Trulicity, but take magnesium at a different time if experiencing GI side effects. Inform your doctor if you have kidney disease before supplementing.
Why this interaction occurs
Trulicity commonly causes gastrointestinal side effects (nausea, diarrhea) which can impair magnesium absorption. Additionally, magnesium supplements themselves can cause GI upset, potentially compounding Trulicity-related GI symptoms. Patients with renal impairment should use caution due to reduced magnesium clearance.
