Magnesium Carbonate

Like all medications, magnesium carbonate can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

These side effects include rare allergic reactions, showing side effects including rashes, itching, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and throat, etc.

If you experience any side effects while taking magnesium carbonate, stop use and speak to your doctor or pharmacist, or seek immediate medical assistance if necessary.

You can experience vomiting and diarrhoea with acid reflux, but it isn’t common.

You might just be sensitive to the sour taste in your mouth caused by acid reflux that may have made you vomit.

Try taking over-the-counter antacids to ease your symptoms, but if they last longer than 72 hours, it’s important to get your symptoms checked with a medical professional.

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, then most indigestion remedies which contain magnesium carbonate will be safe for you to take, as long as you follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

However, you should always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medication while you’re pregnant, to be sure it’s the best and safest remedy for you.

For adults and children over the age of 12, you’ll usually be advised to suck one or two magnesium carbonate tablets every day.

However, this can differ from medicine to medicine, as they may include different ingredients or be at different strengths.

If you’re ever unsure whether a medication is right for you, or you’re unsure how much to take, speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking the medicine.
