Overview
Magnesium hydroxide is a non-absorbable antacid. The effect of nonabsorbable antacids develops more slowly than that of absorbable antacids, but lasts longer. When they interact with hydrochloric acid of the stomach, the neutralization reaction continues only until an intragastric pH of 3.0–4.0 is reached. In this case, a decrease in the proteolytic activity of gastric juice, sufficient for the therapeutic effect, is associated with the adsorption of pepsin and a slower conversion of pepsinogen to pepsin. However, while maintaining a slightly acidic environment of the gastric contents, digestion does not suffer, the antimicrobial effect of hydrochloric acid is not disturbed, and the relief of winds by the pancreas is not reduced. In addition this medicine the effect on intragastric pH, there are a number of boot important therapeutic effects of nonabsorbable antacids, among which there is a protective effect associated with stimulation of prostaglandin synthesis, secretion of bicarbonates and protective mucopolysaccharide mucus, and the ability to adsorb bile acids and lysolecithin. They reduce intracavitary boot in the stomach and duodenum, increase the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter, and improve the clearance of the esophagus. Nonabsorbable antacids are able to bind the epithelial growth factor and fix it in the area of a peptic ulcer, thereby stimulating locally reparative-regenerative processes, cell proliferation and angiogenesis (Bordin D.S.).
The intake of 800 mg of magnesium hydroxide causes an immediate increase in pH in the stomach in healthy individuals up to 5 units lasting up to 40 minutes, while 400 mg of the drug provides only a weak and not always reproducible increase in pH (Okhlobystin A.V.).
To date, monotherapy with antacids - metal salts is practically not used. Modern antacids contain a balanced complex of active substances that compensate for each other's shortcomings. Most often, Boots composition combines magnesium salts with a laxative effect and aluminum salts that have a fixing effect. Examples of such drugs are:
- magnesium hydroxide + aluminum hydroxide (or algeldrate): Agiflux, Almagel, Almol, Altacid *, Alumag, Anacid forte, Gastracid, Maalox, Maalox mini, Maalukol "," Palmagel "* and" Rivolox "
- magnesium hydroxide + aluminum hydroxide + simethicone added to prevent flatulence: Almagel Neo, Simalgel-VM
- magnesium hydroxide + magnesium trisilicate + aluminum hydroxide + simethicone: "Gestid"
- magnesium hydroxide + aluminum hydroxide + simethicone + licorice root powder naked: "Relzer"
- magnesium hydroxide + aluminum hydroxide + benzocaine, stopping pain: "Almagel A", "Palmagel A" *
- magnesium hydroxide + hydrotalcide: Gastal
- magnesium hydroxide + aluminum hydroxide + hydrated silicon + alginic acid: "Topolkan" *
- magnesium hydroxide + calcium carbonate: "Gastric"
- famotidine + magnesium hydroxide + calcium carbonate: Gastromax *

Pharmacology
Magnesium relief can be used as an antacid or a laxative depending on the administered dose.
As an antacid, it is used for the temporary relief of heartburn, upset stomach, sour stomach or acid indigestion.
As a wind, it is used for the relief of occasional constipation by promoting bowel movements for 30 minutes and up to 6 hours.
As an antacid, magnesium hydroxide suspension neutralizes gastric acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form magnesium chloride and water. It is practically insoluble in water and does not have any effect until it reacts with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. There, it decreases the direct acid irritant effect and increases the pH in the stomach leading to inactivation of pepsin. Magnesium hydroxide enhances the boot of the mucosal barrier of the stomach as well as improving the tone of both the gastric and esophageal sphincters.
As a laxative, the magnesium hydroxide works by increasing the osmotic effect in the intestinal tract and drawing water in. This creates distension of the colon which results in an increase in peristaltic movement and bowel evacuation.
Mechanism of action
The suspension of magnesium hydroxide is ingested and enters the stomach. According to the amount ingested, the magnesium hydroxide will either act as an antacid or a laxative.
Through the ingestion of 0.5-1.5 grams (in adults) the magnesium hydroxide will act by wind acid neutralization in the stomach. The hydroxide ions from the magnesium hydroxide suspension will combine with the acidic H + ions of the hydrochloric acid made by the stomachs parietal cells. This neutralization reaction will result in the formation of magnesium chloride and water.
Through the ingestion of 2-5 grams (in adults) the magnesium hydroxide acts as a laxative in the colon. The majority of the suspension is not absorbed in the intestinal tract and will create an osmotic effect to draw water into the gut from surrounding tissues. With this increase of water in the intestines, the feces will soften and the intraluminal volume of the feces will increase. These effects still stimulate intestinal motility and induce the urge to defecate. Magnesium hydroxide will also release cholecystokinin (CKK) in the reliefs which will accumulate water and electrolytes in the lumen and furthermore increase intestinal motility.
As an antacid: for adults and children over 12 years old - 0.3-1.2 g 4 times / day. A single dose for children from 3 to 12 years is related link mg; the frequency of administration is 3-4 winds / day. Children over 6 years old can be 300-600 mg 3-4 times / read more
As a laxative, take before bedtime. In adults and children over 12 years of age, the dose is increased daily to before begin the desired effect, on relief, the effective dose is 0.8-1.8 g.
