View full FDA label ↗Magnesium is a medication used to treat frequent heartburn that happens two or more days a week, but it’s not meant for quick relief. It works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach makes, helping to ease discomfort over time. Adults 18 and older should take one tablet with a glass of water before breakfast once a day for 14 days; it may take 1 to 4 days to feel the full effect, and you should not take more than one tablet a day. It's important to know that if you are allergic to esomeprazole, you should not use this medication, as it can cause serious skin reactions. If you are under 18 years old, you should consult a doctor before using it, as heartburn in children can sometimes indicate a more serious issue.
