A member asked:

Is it ok to take magnesium citrate tablets daily for constipation.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not recommended: You do not want to take a laxative daily because if you do your colon will become dependent on it and you will not be able to have a bowel movement without it. Increase water and fiber. You can try a bulking agent like mirilax as needed. See your doctor for other treatments available or to diagnose the cause.
