Phillips' Milk Of Magnesia Liquid Traditional Mint Flavour- 200ml

Phillips' Milk of Magnesia Liquid Traditional Mint Flavour for Digestive Relief

You can rely on this established digestive remedy to provide gentle relief from constipation and indigestion symptoms. The traditional mint flavour makes this liquid medicine more palatable whilst delivering the therapeutic benefits of magnesium hydroxide. This 200ml bottle provides multiple doses for ongoing digestive support when you need it most.

The liquid formulation allows for flexible dosing and faster absorption compared to tablet alternatives. You'll find this particularly helpful when experiencing acute digestive discomfort that requires prompt attention.

How Magnesium Hydroxide Works in Your Digestive System

The active ingredient works through two distinct mechanisms to address different digestive concerns. As a laxative, it draws water into your intestines, softening stool and promoting natural bowel movements. This osmotic action typically produces results within 30 minutes to 6 hours of taking the medicine.

When used as an antacid, magnesium hydroxide neutralises excess stomach acid by raising the pH level in your stomach. This dual-action approach makes it suitable for addressing both upper and lower digestive tract symptoms simultaneously.

Who Can Benefit from This Digestive Medicine

This medicine suits adults and children over 3 years who experience occasional constipation or acid indigestion. You may find it particularly helpful if you prefer liquid medicines over tablets or need flexible dosing options. The milk of magnesia formulation works well for those seeking gentle relief without harsh stimulant effects.

This product is especially suitable for:

• Adults experiencing occasional constipation lasting 2-3 days
• People with acid indigestion or heartburn symptoms
• Those who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules
• Individuals requiring adjustable dosing based on symptom severity

Why Choose This Traditional Mint Formulation

The mint flavouring helps mask the naturally chalky taste of magnesium hydroxide, making the medicine more acceptable for regular use. This traditional formulation has been trusted by families for generations, providing consistent results without unnecessary additives or artificial colours.

The liquid format allows you to measure precise doses according to your specific needs and symptom severity. You can also mix it with water or juice if preferred, though this isn't necessary for effectiveness.

Storage Requirements and Shelf Life Considerations

You should store this medicine at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to maintain product integrity and prevent contamination. The liquid may separate naturally over time, so shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform distribution of the active ingredient.

Check the expiry date before use and dispose of any remaining medicine safely after this date. Keep out of reach and sight of children at all times.
