Summary
Choline magnesium trisalicylate is not known to raise serum potassium in a meaningful way, so the legacy rationale is weak. Magnesium can potentiate neuromuscular blockade, but oral doses of this product have little practical effect, so no meaningful interaction is established.
What this interaction means in plain words
Choline magnesium trisalicylate and Succinylcholine have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
No well-established mechanism; a theoretical magnesium contribution to neuromuscular blockade.
What to do
No specific action is needed beyond routine monitoring of neuromuscular function. Check renal function and magnesium in patients with kidney impairment.
