Why is Mag-Ox located behind the counter — do I need to write a prescription?

Blaine has been in the magnesium industry for nearly 50 years. Doctors wrote prescriptions for Mag-Ox to go along with other prescription products (such as diuretics and cyclosporine). Today, Mag-Ox is stored behind the counter at the pharmacy because it is a Pharmaceutical Grade quality magnesium supplement, which is usually dispensed because of a healthcare professional's prescription. This way, you can be sure the patient is getting the Blaine brand of magnesium and is receiving the proper dosing.

As always, available behind the counter. Now available over the counter in the vitamin/mineral section at select retailers, including Albertsons, OSCO, Sav-On, Brooks, ACME, and CVS/pharmacy.
