Product overview
Phillips' Milk of Magnesia is formulated with Magnesium Hydroxide, a highly effective active ingredient that works in two distinct ways. As an antacid, it acts quickly to neutralize excess acid in the stomach. As a gentle laxative, it naturally draws water into the bowel to soften stools and encourage comfortable relief. Whether you're focused on settling your stomach after a heavy meal or seeking a gentle, cramp-free solution for occasional constipation, this product is designed to offer a simple and fast-acting addition to your healthcare routine.
Each dose provides a soothing, locally acting treatment, with a formula created for dual-action digestive health, predictable overnight results, and a pleasant flavour.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to work as a laxative?
When taken as a laxative, Phillips' Milk of Magnesia generally produces a bowel movement within 30 minutes to 6 hours. It is most commonly taken at bedtime to provide gentle relief by the next morning.
Why are the dosages different for indigestion and constipation?
A small dose (1-2 spoonfuls) is enough to coat the stomach and neutralize excess acid for indigestion. A larger dose (6-9 spoonfuls) is required to draw enough water into the intestines to soften stools and trigger a bowel movement.
Can children take Milk of Magnesia?
Yes, it can be given to children over 3 years old for laxative use at a reduced dosage (usually 1-2 x 5ml spoonfuls), but it is always highly recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist before giving laxatives to young children.
Does this product cause stomach cramps?
Because Magnesium Hydroxide is an osmotic laxative (it uses water to soften stools) rather than a stimulant laxative (which forces the bowel to contract), it is generally much gentler and less likely to cause severe cramping.
Important information
Always read the patient information leaflet before use. Shake the bottle well before every use.
Do not use this product if you have severe kidney problems, as your body may struggle to clear the magnesium. Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications (as it can affect the absorption of other drugs).
Do not use laxatives for an extended period (more than 1 week) without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to bowel dependency or fluid/electrolyte imbalance. If you need a laxative every day, see a healthcare professional.
Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Store below 25°C. Discard any remaining liquid 6 months after opening.
