Magnesium hydroxide Milk

Saline laxatives attract or pull water into the intestine, thereby increasing pressure in the intestine, followed by an increase in peristalsis. Magnesium hydroxide (Milk of Magnesia) is a saline laxative. [Pg.475]

Acids and bases are among the most familiar of all chemical compounds. Acetic acid in vinegar, citric acid in lemons and other citrus fruits, magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia) in commercial antacids, and ammonia in household cleaning products are among the acids and bases that we encounter every day. Hydrochloric acid is... [Pg.611]

Acids and bases are as familiar as aspirin and milk of magnesia although many people do not know their chemical names—acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia). In addition to being the basis of many medicinal and household products, acid-base chemistry is important in industrial processes and essential in sustaining biological systems. Before we can discuss acid-base reactions, we need to know more about acids and bases themselves. [Pg.115]

Magnesium hydroxide (Milk of Magnesia), which is a rapid and efficient acid neutralizer, will exert some laxative effects, due to the soluble Mg2+ ion. When combined with aluminum compounds, this will lessen the constipating effect of the latter. [Pg.631]

Osmotic laxatives contain three types of electrolyte salts sodium salts (sodium phosphate or phospho-soda, sodium biphosphate), magnesium salts (magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia), magnesium citrate, magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts), and potassium salts (potassium bitartrate, potassium phosphate). Serum electrolytes should be monitored to avoid electrolyte imbalance. Good renal function is needed to excrete any excess salts. [Pg.362]

Magnesium hydroxide (Milk o/Magnesia) 15 mL taken with and 3 hours after a single dose of dicoumarol was found to raise the peak plasma levels and AUC of dicoumarol by 75% and 50%, respectively, in 6 healthy subjects. Conversely, aluminium hydroxide (Amphogel) 30 mL did not alter dicoumarol levels. ... [Pg.365]
