I am taking magnesium supplements NOT magnesium citrate. Sorry for the confusion. I am also taking a multivitamin and vitamin c.

Sorry. To clarify I was taking magnesium supplements. Not magnesium citrate. Is this harmful? I take the daily dosage which is 400 mg, but I can limit it to only 200 mg instead. I haven't read anywhere online that taking magnesium before surgery is bad and it's not on the list of medications I should avoid (except magnesium salicylate) which is not at all what I'm taking. My surgery is Thursday. My anesthesiologist is calling me tomorrow and I will let him know. Still should I discontinue this?
