Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Magnesium hydroxide stimulates bowel movement by retaining fluid in the intestinal lumen which distends the colon, thus increasing peristalsis. It also neutralises stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form Mg chloride. Onset: Bowel movement: 30 minutes to 6 hours. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Mg: Poorly absorbed from the small intestine (approx 30%). Distribution: Mg: Crosses the placenta; enters breast milk (small amounts). Excretion: Mainly via urine (up to 30% as absorbed Mg ions); faeces (as unabsorbed drug).
