This medication is available in a variety of over-the-counter products to relieve stomach acid,?indigestion?, and ?heartburn.
This medicine also acts as a laxative to treat constipation by absorbing water from the blood vessels surrounding the intestine into the intestine, thus stimulating bowel movements and softening the stool to facilitate its passage.
Magnesium hydroxide is not usually used as the sole ingredient in antacid preparations due to its laxative effect, but rather it is combined with aluminum hydroxide, which causes constipation and eliminates the laxative effect of magnesium hydroxide.
