Magnesium citrate is a mineral supplement used for the treatment of magnesium deficiency and for relieving occasional constipation. It works by increasing water content in the intestines, facilitating bowel movements.
The medication is taken orally, usually in the form of a solution or effervescent tablets. The dosage should be adjusted based on the patient's needs and the doctor's recommendations.
Side effects may include abdominal cramps, diarrhea, or nausea. Long-term use without medical supervision should be avoided, as it may lead to electrolyte imbalances.
Magnesium citrate is not recommended for patients with severe renal impairment or intestinal obstruction. It is essential to consult a doctor before use.
