How Long Can Magnesium Supplement Be Taken?

My husband was told by his neurologist to take 400 mg of Magnesium. He has been taking this for about three months. He takes it every morning with his breakfast. I have been told well meaning friends and family that this should be only a short term vitamin. He will see his doctor in two weeks. What is your opinion on this. Thank you in advance.
