Blaine Quality
Annual polls show that Pharmacists are deeply trusted by consumers and Blaine Pharmaceuticals is similar in that Blaine has earned the trust of health care professionals as a provider of premium-quality pharmaceutical products that are affordable for everyone. Moreland Blaine valued Pharmacists when starting the company in 1955 and a strong relationship with Pharmacists continues at Blaine Pharmaceuticals. Pharmacists have helped MAG-OX 400 become the #1 magnesium oxide supplement brand by recognizing the value of MAG-OX 400 in three major areas – convenience, compliance, and cost.

Convenience
Older patients often require many medications and it is important to keep their tablet requirement to a minimum in order to help ensure good compliance to the medication regimen. MAG-OX 400 can provide patients the extra magnesium they need and is the only leading brand that can do that in one tablet. MAG-OX 400 provides 240mg of elemental magnesium in a single tablet versus 64mg in the other leading brand.

MAG-OX 400 offers meaningful magnesium supplementation with a convenient one tablet, once daily dosage. The high concentration of magnesium found in MAG-OX 400 is unique. MAG-OX 400 helps the average diet meet the U.S.R.D.A. for magnesium with only one tablet a day, making it the most convenient magnesium supplement option available.

Compliance
The goal of adequate magnesium intake could be met with dietary changes; however, few will likely comply with a recommendation to consume more magnesium rich foods like nuts, unprocessed cereal grains, and legumes. When deciding to supplement the diet with magnesium, one MAG-OX 400 daily provides enough magnesium to cover the average dietary shortfall. MAG-OX 400 enhances the likelihood of compliance by giving your patients 240 mgs per day in a single tablet that is taken once a day. It is extremely well-tolerated, and provides your patients the magnesium they need for about a dime a day. The advantage to your patients is that they conveniently get their daily requirement at an affordable cost and this should translate into a higher level of compliance.

Cost
Requiring only one tablet a day at about ten cents per tablet, Blaine MAG-OX 400 is a much greater value versus other leading brands. For example, the other leading brand requires four tablets (at more than five times the cost) in order to provide the same amount of elemental magnesium in one MAG-OX 400.

Despite the low monthly cost of $3.00 for patients, some have sought a generic substitute to Blaine’s innovator product, MAG-OX 400. However, there are no generics or substitutes for MAG-OX 400, so do not accept alternatives. Therefore, at only about one dollar a month more than generic substitutes MAG-OX 400 provides your patients the certainty and peace of mind that comes from the Blaine brand name—the premium in magnesium for several decades.

Generic Substitution
Prescription drugs that are AB Rated in the FDA Orange Book can be substituted for off-patent "Innovator Drugs." This AB Rating signals the U.S. FDA's endorsement that these generic drugs are substantially bioequivalent to the original drug.

There is no AB Rating for MAG-OX 400. If a physician wants a patient on Blaine MAG-OX 400, it is to ensure that the patient receives an adequate amount of quality magnesium.

Please note that Mag-Oxide 400 is not the same as Blaine MAG-OX 400.
