Proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-induced hypomagnesaemia is a rare but serious adverse effect of a widely prescribed medication. It has become an increasingly recognised complication since 2006, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issuing a warning for this risk with regards to long-term PPI use. We present the case of PPI-associated hypomagnesaemia and hypocalcaemia. A 91 year old male presented with tetany from severe hypomagnesaemia and hypocalcaemia. This condition occurred in the context of 18 months of PPI use, and resolved following cessation of PPI therapy and the replenishment of magnesium and calcium stores. Monitoring of magnesium, calcium and potassium levels is crucial in patients prescribed PPIs long-term; especially the elderly patient.
质子泵抑制剂(PPI)引起的低镁血症是一种广泛使用的药物罕见但严重的不良反应。自2006年以来,它已成为一种越来越被认识到的并发症,美国食品药品监督管理局已就长期使用PPI的这种风险发出警告。我们报告一例与PPI相关的低镁血症和低钙血症病例。一名91岁男性因严重低镁血症和低钙血症出现手足搐搦。这种情况发生在使用PPI 18个月的背景下,在停止PPI治疗并补充镁和钙储备后得到缓解。对于长期服用PPI的患者,尤其是老年患者,监测镁、钙和钾水平至关重要。
