How does omeprazole alter magnesium absorption and homeostasis and what monitoring should be done to ensure proper magnesium levels in patients on long-term treatment?
Omeprazole reduces magnesium absorption by inhibiting gastric acid secretion, essential for magnesium ionization and uptake. Long-term users should regularly check serum magnesium levels.
