⚠️ Use with caution — restricted in some markets

Magnesium — Severe deficiency (<0.50 mmol/L) causes secondary hypocalcemia and hypokalemia that will not correct until magnesium is repleted first [1].

Iron — Iron supplementation in iron-replete patients may increase cardiovascular and cancer risk — always document deficiency before prescribing [1].

Strontium — Strontium ranelate restricted to severe osteoporosis only. Cardiovascular contraindications.

Zinc — Chronic zinc >40 mg/day without copper causes copper deficiency: anemia, neutropenia, myeloneuropathy [1].
