Will Slowmag Tablets Have Any Affect On PI Count?
My husband has epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. Subsequent to blood clotting, he is taking Warfarin and has to have his PI level checked on a regular basis (generally weekly). His neurosurgeon has prescribed him SlowMag tablets - will this affect his PI count, or can he safely take the SlowMag tablets? Thank you for your assistance.
