Can I take Magnesium and Oestrogel pump-pack /actuation together?

Why this happens

Magnesium is a mineral absorbed through the digestive system, while Oestrogel is a hormone absorbed through the skin (transdermally). Because they use different pathways and do not interfere with each other's metabolism in the liver or action at hormone receptors, they do not clash.

What you should do

You can continue to use both as prescribed. It is often recommended to take magnesium in the evening as it can help with relaxation and sleep, while Oestrogel should be applied at the same time each day to clean, dry skin.
