More info
Phillips milk of magnesia liquid is useful for the treatment of upset stomach, indigestion, hyperacidity, flatulence and heartburn. It is also effective in relieving constipation.
The magnesium in the liquid can both neutralize excess stomach acid to treat indigestion and, if taken in slightly larger doses, act as a saline laxative. This means that the magnesium works to pull salt or a saline solution from the blood into the intestines, therefore increasing the amount of water in the intestines and causing a laxative action.
The medicine acts to work within six hours of a dose in adults and children to temporarily relieve occasional bouts of constipation.
