A member asked:

How long can adverse side effects from magnesium oxide supplements last? i took 3 pills and 4 pills = 1,400mg. ive been have dull stomachs cramps and rumbling for three days so far?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There may be an alternative explanation for your symptoms. Magnesium oxide is not expected to cause long term symptoms. Try taking Pepto-Bismol. If that does not resolve the matter in a couple of days, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
