What Are Side Effects Of Magnesium Asporotate?
What are side effects of Magnesium Asporotate? I have been using it as a laxative for several months. Does it affect the arteries? I am 74 years old and recently had to have a triple bypass open heart surgery. I am wondering if the magnesium could have contributed to this condition. Thanks Angie

Hi dear..the side effects of the medicine are mainly related with g.i.t. includes irritation and sometimes diarrhea..magnesium is the ion which relaxes ur muscles..so slight weakness u may feel and tiredness on continues use..it will relax ur arteries but it doesn't have any harmful effects on heart per se..hope this helps you..thanks
