Milk Of Magnesia With Milk Cardamom Flavour Bottle Of 170ml Oral Liquid

Milk Of Magnesia Oral Liquid is an over-the-counter magnesium-based oral liquid used as a laxative and antacid. It contains magnesium hydroxide (commonly known as Milk of Magnesia) and is used for short-term relief from occasional constipation and acidity-related discomfort when taken as directed. It helps relieve constipation by softening hard stools and making bowel movements easier to pass.

It is also used to ease symptoms of indigestion, acidity, and heartburn caused by excess stomach acid. Milk Of Magnesia Oral Liquid works by drawing water into the intestines, which helps loosen stools and promotes a natural bowel movement. When used for acidity, it neutralises excess stomach acid, providing soothing relief from burning sensations and stomach discomfort.

Milk Of Magnesia Oral Liquid should be taken exactly as advised by your doctor. Shake the bottle well before use and measure the dose using a proper measuring cup or spoon. Some people may experience mild side effects such as loose stools, stomach cramps, or nausea, which usually settle on their own.
