Magnesium Hydroxide is an inorganic compound widely used as an antacid and laxative. It works by neutralizing stomach acid and increasing water in the intestines, which helps relieve indigestion, heartburn, and constipation. Commonly known as “Milk of Magnesia” in its suspension form, it is valued for its effectiveness and relatively low side-effect profile. Besides medicinal uses, magnesium hydroxide is also employed in wastewater treatment, as a flame retardant, and in various industrial processes.
Magnesium Hydroxide works by neutralizing excess stomach acid through a chemical reaction that raises the pH in the stomach, providing relief from heartburn and indigestion. As a laxative, it draws water into the intestines, which softens stool and stimulates bowel movements, helping to relieve constipation.
