MedDataToolCareone Milk Of Magnesia Cherry is a medication that helps relieve occasional constipation, usually working within half an hour to six hours after taking it. It works by drawing water into the intestines, which helps to soften the stool and make it easier to pass. For adults and children aged 12 and older, the starting dose is between 30 to 60 milliliters, and it should not exceed this amount in a 24-hour period. It's important to drink a full glass of liquid with each dose, and if you're under 6 years old, you should consult a doctor before using it.
