A member asked:

63 you male 6000mg a day for severe muscle spasms. have had 2 heart attacks and 8 stents and cad. any problems with this medicine and dose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Which medication?: 6000mg a day for any of the medications you list is a very LARGE amount that should not be taken for very long since other complications can occur. You need to speak with your doctor about getting that dosage under better management.
