Interaction of magnesium oxide with gastric acid secretion inhibitors in clinical pharmacotherapy
2014
Purpose
Magnesium oxide (MgO), a short-term osmotic laxative, is converted into MgCl2 under acidic condition in the stomach and then Mg(HCO3)2 in the intestinal tract, where Mg(HCO3)2 induces the water exudation into the intestine. This indicates that the laxative effect of MgO could be attenuated under the suppressed gastric acid secretion. In this study, the possible interaction of MgO with gastric acid secretion inhibitors was evaluated by using electronic patient records of MgO dosage levels.
