A member asked:

Magnesium citrate won't wear off, i took it two days ago and i went to the bathroom, i can't get anymore out but my stomach hurts and my leftover stool is somehow loose yet not coming out, help??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies but will usually wear off in 2, 3, 4 days. Increased bowel motility will make you feel like you still have stool in the colon/rectum but that is unlikely. Should be gone by later this week. If not, you need evaluation in Urgent Care
