Can Magnesium Be Taken For A Long Duration?

I began taking 400 mg of magnesium when I was getting leg cramps at night. The cramps have ceased, but I continue to take the magnesium. Is there a danger in this amount? If I took one capsule every two days, would that be safer? What are the side effects?
