And finally, Proton Pump Inhibitors. These also lower your absorption of magnesium. I was on Protonix for about 6 months before I had my first episode of AION in my right eye.

Now, like I said, this is only a theory. No where did I actually find anything that tied this altogether. I found little pieces of information, like, low magnesium can cause hypo tension and Protonix can cause low magnesium and hypo tension can cause AION. And there were papers that talked about people who had digestive problems that went on PPIs that seemed to be prone to AION.

My recommendation is that if you are taking a proton pump inhibitor (Priolosec, Protonix, Nexium, Previced, etc), I would take a calcium/magnesium supplement as well as B-12. All of these have absorption problems related to PPIs.
