Original Abstract of the Article :
Non-prescribed antacid drugs that contain magnesium and aluminum are widely used in the treatment of gastritis and peptic ulcer. One of the side effects of these antacid drugs is that they bind phosphate in the gut and result in its malabsorption.

Osteomalacia: A Case of Bilateral Hip Fracture Linked to Magnesium-Containing Antacids

Osteomalacia, a condition characterized by soft and weak bones, can have serious consequences for individuals. This case report, a journey through the desert of bone health, explores a case of osteomalacia linked to the use of magnesium-containing antacids.

A Complicated Case: Unveiling the Connection

The patient, a 42-year-old woman, developed osteomalacia and suffered bilateral hip fractures. Further investigation revealed a history of using magnesium hydroxide (Magnesie calcinee powder) as a laxative. This case report, like a carefully examined artifact in the desert, highlights the potential link between excessive magnesium intake and bone health.

The Mechanisms: Unveiling the Impact of Magnesium

The research suggests that excessive magnesium intake can interfere with phosphate absorption, leading to decreased bone mineralization and osteomalacia. This finding underscores the importance of considering the potential side effects of medications, even those seemingly benign.

Health Implications and Everyday Life: Navigating the Desert of Bone Health

This case report, a cautionary tale in the desert of bone health, highlights the potential risks associated with excessive magnesium intake. It emphasizes the importance of consulting healthcare professionals before taking any medication, even over-the-counter remedies, to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Dr. Camel's Conclusion

This case report, a valuable reminder in the desert of bone health, illustrates the importance of considering the potential side effects of medications. The findings emphasize the need for careful monitoring of mineral levels and bone health, especially when using magnesium-containing antacids or supplements.
