Brief Answer:
What were you taking it for?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for contacting us at healthcare magic.

I have reviewed this information fully. Magnesium oxide is not a poisonous substance. You can take it. The most common reasons why people take it is to treat indigestion and low magnesium levels in the body. I am not sure why you were on it but stopping would be determined by the need and not the fear that this is a toxic substance.

In all, not a toxic substance. Let's know why you were taking it and the decision to stop or not will depend on it.

I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me at your earliest convenience.
