Proton pump inhibitor–induced hypomagnesaemia leading to recurrent falls and delirium: a case report

Abstract

Older adults are at increased risk of developing hypomagnesaemia secondary to chronic use of proton pump inhibitors. We report a 73-yearold woman who presented with acute functional decline, recurrent falls, and cognitive impairment likely owing to unrecognised persistent hypomagnesaemia secondary to use of proton pump inhibitors.
