t's a type of laxative known as an oral osmotic; it works by drawing water into the colon from the body tissues surrounding it. This allows the stool to pass more easily.
Milk of Magnesia can be taken as a liquid or a tablet. A bowel movement should occur within a half hour to six hours after taking it.
Milk of Magnesia can also be used as an antacid. It can help relieve heartburn, sour stomach, and acid indigestion.
Milk of Magnesia should only be used on a short-term basis to treat occasional constipation. That's because oral laxatives can sometimes interfere with how your body absorbs other medicines.
Chronic use may also decrease your colon's ability to contract, and actually make your constipation worse over time.
If you have kidney disease or are on a magnesium-restricted diet, talk to your doctor before using Milk of Magnesia.
