What Can Cause The Pain In The Abdomen After Taking Magnesium Citrate?
I recently had to take Magnesium Citrate to cleanse my bowels. It worked, but after the last couple of movements, I started suffering some pain in my lower abdomen. The pain has lasted over a day now and is very uncomfortable. Is there anything I can take for the pain?

Hi,
The pain in lower abdomen after taking magnesium citrate is related to hyper activity of the bowels due to this medication.
I advise to take papaverin or buscopan for the pain. But, you need a prescription for that.
Take plenty of water, and rest more.
All the best!
