Pharmaceutically acceptable compositions suitable for releasing magnesium ions to an organism, such as organic or inorganic magnesium salts or complexes thereof, are used to prevent and to treat neoplastic and autoimmune diseases, whose origin can be attributed to magnesium depletion. For the new therapeutic indications the magnesium based product, preferably magnesium pyrophosphate, is usually administered orally or parenterally, preferably in association with vitamin B6. |
