How Magmilax Bolus works

The term "Milk of Magnesia" was first used to describe a white aqueous, mildly alkaline suspension of magnesium hydroxide formulated at about 8%w/v. Milk of magnesia is primarily used to alleviate constipation, but can also be used to relieve indigestion and heartburn. When taken internally by mouth as a laxative, the osmotic force of the magnesia suspension acts to draw fluids from the body and to retain those already within the lumen of the intestine, serving to distend the bowel, thus stimulating nerves within the colon wall, inducing peristalsis and resulting in evacuation of colonic contents. Magnesium supplements have also been shown to reduce platelet aggregation by inhibiting in the influx of calcium, a crucial component of platelet aggregation.

Food Interaction

  • Take with food. When using magnesium to treat calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis, magnesium oxide should be taken with food.
  • Take with or without food. Many different products contain magnesium oxide; refer to the product monograph for more specific instruction. Taking magnesium supplements with food may reduce the risk of diarrhea.
