Mag-Oxide Chemical Information

magnesium oxide - An oxide of magnesium with antacid and laxative effects. Magnesium combines with water to form magnesium hydroxide that reacts chemically to neutralize or buffer existing quantities of stomach acid therefore increasing the pH of the stomach content as well as increasing the intra-esophageal pH resulting in a decrease in pepsin activity. Its laxative effect is executed in higher doses by attracting water from the intestines.
