Magnesium hydroxide is an inorganic compound commonly used as an antacid to relieve indigestion, heartburn, and upset stomach, or as a saline laxative for short-term treatment of constipation. It acts by neutralizing stomach acid or by attracting water into the intestines. The drug is widely approved and available OTC in many countries.
Pharmacokinetics
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for oral administration in healthy adults; few data published due to very poor absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.
