A member asked:
I recently read that prilosec can cause hypomagnesemia, which can cause dangerous heart rhythms. i took prilosec for 14 months, should i worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Worry: not a real big concern. If off medication now not a worry at all. If concerned while on it, have your magnesium level checked.
