Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

An overdose of magnessium citrate can give rise to diarrhea or severe stomach pain. Unless managed properly, this can lead to nausea, vomiting, flushing, low blood pressure, a slow heartbeat, drowsiness, coma, and even death. I would insist you to urgently dial the emergency helpline or to visit the ER at the earliest.

Feel free to write back.

Regards
