Homeopathic High Magnesium Muscle Cramp Treatment Causing Renal Dysfunction

Abstract

Herbal medications are often perceived as safe since they are believed to be sourced from natural sources and are sought after for various health conditions, including muscle cramps. While some herbal medicines may provide relief, it is crucial to exercise caution and be aware of their potential side effects, including the risk of exacerbating renal failure when they contain high magnesium levels. This is a case of a 76-year-old woman who experienced renal failure after consuming herbal medication rich in magnesium to alleviate muscle cramps.
