A member asked:

How much magnesium in omeprazole?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very little: If you have a low magnesium level in the blood stream on testing Omeprazole is not going to correct this. You should try magnesium oxide or magnesium protein plus. Avoid magnesium citrate because it induces diarrhea and this may worsen your magnesium levels.
