Usage

General Description

Magnesium hydroxide is a chemical compound with the formula Mg(OH)2. It is a white, powdery solid that is slightly soluble in water. Magnesium hydroxide is commonly used as an antacid to neutralize stomach acid and provide relief from heartburn, indigestion, and upset stomach. It works by reacting with the acidic gastric contents to form magnesium salts, which are less irritating to the stomach lining. Magnesium hydroxide is also used in the manufacturing of medicines, as a component of some laxatives, and as a fire retardant in various industries. It is considered relatively safe for human consumption when used in appropriate doses.
