Milk of magnesia is the common name for magnesium hydroxide, or Mg(OH)2. When placed in water it is called milk of magnesia because it looks like cow's milk.
When placed in water a small amount dissolves, and the rest of it just sort of floats around as tiny particles of Mg(OH)2. So you have magnesium metal, free hydroxide ions, and Mg(OH)2 molecules all floating around in water.
Although there is metal in it, I would put milk of magnesia in the "nonmetal" category.
