Is it safe to use Cinrab for a long period of time?

Cinrab should be used for as long as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Cinrab is usually considered to be safe when taken in the recommended dose and duration. If Cinrab is used for more than 3 months, certain long term side effects may be seen. The most important of these is low magnesium levels in your blood which may make you feel tired, confused, dizzy, shaky or dizzy. You may also have muscle twitches or irregular heartbeat. If the use is further prolonged for more than a year, you may have an increased risk of bone fractures, stomach infections, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, osteoporosis, and vitamin B12 deficiency.
