Milk of Magnesia Liquid
Milk of Magnesia Liquid
can be used as an antacid
or a laxative. Milk of
Magnesia Liquid is an
alkaline suspension,
meaning that it will
cause neutralization when
it encounters anything
acidic. This is why it
makes an excellent
antacid, as it
neutralizes excess
stomach acid
(hydrochloric acid (HCL)
when swallowed. Left
untreated, excess
stomach acid will cause
heartburn, indigestion
and stomach ulcers. Milk
of Magnesia Liquid used
as an antacid works when
the hydroxide ions
combine with the hydrogen
ions in HCL to reduce the
excess activity in the
stomach. When used as a
laxative, Milk of
Magnesia Liquid helps to
flush the intestines by
stimulating intestinal
motility. The magnesium
ions pull water from the
surrounding body tissues
via osmosis. The extra
water in the intestines
softens and increases the
amount of feces, which
in turn stimulates the
nerves in the intestines.
The ions also release the
hormone cholecystokinin,
causing an increase of
water and electrolytes in
the intestine and causing
intestinal motility.
Ingredients The active
ingredient is Magnesium
Hydroxide (415mg/5ml).
The other ingredients are
Sodium Hydrogen
Carbonate, Oil of
Peppermint, Glycerol,
Sodium Saccharin and
Purified Water.
Directions Use a 5 ml
spoon or the dosing cup
provided. Doses may be
taken with milk or water
if desired. Do not exceed
the stated dose. As an
antacid: Adults: 5-10 ml
(one or two 5 ml
spoonfuls or fill the
dosing cup to the first
or second line). Repeat
as necessary to a maximum
of 60 ml in 24 hours.
Children aged 3-12 years:
5 ml (one spoonful or
first line in dosing
cup). Repeat as necessary
to a maximum of 30 ml in
24 hours. As a laxative:
Adults: 30-45 ml at
bedtime. Repeat nightly,
reducing dose each night
until constipation is
relieved. Children aged
over 3 years: 5-10 ml at
bedtime. Children aged
under 3 years: to be
given only on the advice
of a doctor. Elderly: As

of fluid and electrolyte

contain rehydration salts
consisting of sugars and
salts (glucose, sodium
chloride, potassium
chloride and disodium
hydrogen citrate). They
are used to replace body
fluids lost as a result
of acute diarrhoea.
Diarrhoea makes you lose
more fluids and
electrolytes (salts such
as sodium and potassium)
than you usually would
and can make you
dehydrated. Sachets of
rehydration salts are
used to replace body
fluids lost as a result
of diarrhoea. This is
particularly important in
frail and elderly people
and children with
diarrhoea. The contents
of the sachets are
dissolved in water to
provide the fluid. The
sugar (glucose) that is
in the sachets helps the
water and electrolytes to
be absorbed from the
intestines. Powder

The solution should be
made up immediately
before use and used

may be kept for up to 24
hours. Children: contents
