What's role of magnesium oxide?

Dr. Tarek Naguib answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Repletes magnesium : If your mag level is low, you can use mag oxide for repleting your stores. If you have kidney disease, avoid taking mag oxide because it can cause high magnesium levels in the blood which can cause irregular heart rhythm.
