Magnesium Glycinate and Pantoprazole, a caution.
Long-term pantoprazole use can cause hypomagnesemia, similar to other PPIs. The FDA warning about PPI-induced magnesium depletion applies to all PPIs including pantoprazole. Patients on long-term therapy should have magnesium levels monitored.

Caution
What is happening. Long-term pantoprazole use can cause hypomagnesemia, similar to other PPIs. The FDA warning about PPI-induced magnesium depletion applies to all PPIs including pantoprazole. Patients on long-term therapy should have magnesium levels monitored.
Mechanism. Pantoprazole, like all PPIs, impairs active intestinal magnesium absorption through TRPM6/TRPM7 channel dysfunction. Chronic gastric acid suppression disrupts the electrochemical gradient necessary for efficient magnesium transport in the distal intestine.
Recommendation. Monitor magnesium levels periodically during long-term pantoprazole use. Consider magnesium supplementation if levels are low or if experiencing muscle cramps, weakness, or fatigue.
