MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE USP is sold for medical use as chewable tablets, capsules, and as liquids having various added flavors. MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE USP primarily used to alleviate constipation, but also to relieve indigestion and heartburn. MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE USP when taken orally as a laxative, the osmotic force of the magnesia suspension acts to draw fluids from the body and to retain those already within the lumen of the intestine, serving to distend the bowel, thus stimulating nerves within the colon wall, inducing peristalsis and resulting in evacuation of colonic contents. It is also used as an antacid, though more modern formulations combine the antimotility effects of equal concentrations of aluminum hydroxide to avoid unwanted laxative effects.
