Sound-alike/look-alike issues:
Magnesium carbonate may be confused with other magnesium salts (eg, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium chloride, magnesium gluconate)
Magonate liquid [OTC], which contains magnesium carbonate, may be confused with Magonate tablets [OTC], which contains magnesium gluconate. The amount of elemental magnesium varies greatly according to salt; use caution not to confuse the products.
