Abstract in brief

The article discusses four cases of elderly patients with kidney problems who developed severe hypermagnesemia, a dangerous condition caused by ingesting magnesium oxide (MgO) laxatives, with one case being fatal.
It highlights that hypermagnesemia is usually rare and linked to magnesium-containing medications, especially in vulnerable groups like the elderly and those with kidney dysfunction, but it may be more common than previously thought.
The authors recommend that doctors regularly check serum magnesium levels in high-risk patients, such as elderly individuals with kidney issues or cognitive impairments, especially after starting or adjusting magnesium-based treatments.]
