Question 6

can i take magnesium oxide?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Do not take if you have severe kidney failure because the magnesium levels could build to toxic ranges.  Also do not take if you have diarrhea because it will worsen your symptoms.  If you have a low serum magnesium and need more than 800 mg a day consider taking mag protein plus 133 mg instead.  It has more available magnesium and is much better tolerated.  It is also over the counter.

as laxative magnisium citrate is more effective.

Accepted Answer

No: Magnesium is not known to be toxic to the kidneys although it can accumulate in the blood when large amounts are taken in the presence of relatively advanced kidney disease.

Question 9

is it safe to take magnesium oxide every day?

Accepted Answer

Yes with supervision: If you have somewhat slower kidney function you could accumulate magnesium levels in blood causing abnormal heart rhythm. Need a doctor supervision for every day use for long term. At least need doctors clearance for starting a long term use. He will factor the risk vs benefit and your blood level and your other meds interacting with it and the cause to use it and if there is a better option.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Dose depends on leve: Dose of magnesium oxide for magnesium deficiency depends on the level of magnesium in red blood cells.250 mgm is low dose
you may need 500 mgm to 1000 mgm to correct deficiency and even more in severe deficiencysevere deficiency may need to be treated with IV magnesium
check with your doctor before starting on magnesium and get the level done preferably red blood cell magnesium level and serum lev.
