Abstract: Use of a combination of two vitamin compounds, i.e. riboflavin (also known as vitamin B2) and nicotinic acid (also referred to as niacin) or, as an alternative thereto, the corresponding amide, i.e. niacinamide or nicotinamide (also known as vitamin PP) for the treatment of various forms of primary headache, such as classical migraine or migraine with an aura, common migraine or migraine without an aura, complicated migraine and cluster headache or histamine headache. The invention also concerns compositions for the treatment of primary headaches which are based on the two aforesaid active ingredients.

Abstract: A method of treating solid neoplastic diseases is disclosed, which involves administering to a host in need of such treatment an effective amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable magnesium salt or complex, which can be a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic magnesium salt such as magnesium pyrophosphate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable organic magnesium salt. The composition can be administered orally, parenterally, cutaneously or mucosally, and can be given, for example, in an amount of magnesium which is from 2 to 12 mg per kg of body weight daily. Preferred compositions include magnesium lactate, magnesium aspartate, magnesium acetate, and magnesium pyrophosphate. Neoplastic diseases amenable to the method include adenocarcinoma. The method can include administering with the magnesium salt or complex an effective amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable magnesium fixing substance, such as vitamin B6.

Abstract: 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.
