Milk of magnesia, primarily composed of magnesium hydroxide, works as an antacid and laxative. When ingested, it neutralizes stomach acid, providing relief from heartburn and indigestion. Additionally, it draws water into the intestines, promoting bowel movements and alleviating constipation. Its effects typically occur within a few hours after consumption.
