Question 1

can i take epsom salt baths while taking pantoprazole magnesium? i take pantoprazole in the morning, and baths in the evening (if relevant)

Accepted Answer

Epsom salts: Yes  -   there should be no problems using epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) and Pantoprazole.    The magnesium in the pantoprazole is negligible and you won't absorb any magnesium from the bath.    Epsom salts should not be used if you have any open areas 
Good luck

Salt bath: There's no way to tell you what was in epsom salts you use, so you really should see someone in the emergency room and get some advice. Could be that you just have a virus but at least everything should be considered.

: Think that it's ok to soak to help drainage and infection, but suggest using an old fashion product, borros solution in the bath tub. This can be sound in many pharmacies or online. Suggest twice daily for 15 mins each time. Confirm with your dermatologist.
