Magnesium Oxide Tips from Pharmacists

  • Elemental magnesium is available in various forms and dosage strengths. Read the package label carefully to ensure you are taking the correct form and dose.

  • Keep in mind that most people do not need magnesium supplementation. You can get enough magnesium from foods like nuts, seeds, and green leafy vegetables.

  • Stay well hydrated while taking magnesium oxide. Tell your doctor if you experience signs and symptoms of dehydration, such as dry mouth, dizziness, lightheadedness, or reduced urinary output.
