What is Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia?
Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia is a well-known oral liquid used to relieve occasional constipation and uncomfortable digestive symptoms such as acid indigestion and heartburn.
This product works gently with your body to restore normal bowel movement and ease stomach discomfort without harsh stimulation.

How Does it Work?
Designed for short-term use, Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia is commonly chosen by adults looking for dependable constipation relief that is easy to measure, easy to take, and clinically established.
Ingredients
Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia contains magnesium hydroxide as its active ingredient.
Magnesium hydroxide works by drawing water into the intestines, which helps soften stool and promote bowel movement.
It also neutralizes excess stomach acid when used for indigestion relief.
Inactive ingredients may include purified water and flavoring agents that improve taste and consistency.
These components support safe oral use and do not interfere with the product’s effectiveness.
This formulation does not contain stimulants, making it a preferred option for gentle digestive support.
