Milk Of Magnesia Concentrate

Milk of Magnesia Concentrate is a liquid medication used to relieve heartburn, upset stomach, and occasional constipation. It works by neutralizing stomach acid and drawing water into the intestines to help you have a bowel movement. For adults and children over 12, it can be taken as an antacid at a starting dose of 5 mL (1 teaspoonful) up to a maximum of 20 mL in a day, or as a laxative in doses of 15 to 30 mL, preferably at bedtime, with a full glass of liquid. It's important to avoid using this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to it or its ingredients. Additionally, if you are taking prescription drugs, be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist about possible interactions, as it may affect how those medications work.
