Magnesiumhydroxide Teva (Magnesium Hydroxide)

Magnesium hydroxide neutralises stomach acid through a chemical reaction that forms magnesium chloride and water, raising the gastric pH. In the intestines, the magnesium ions retain water osmotically, increasing stool fluidity and stimulating peristalsis, which helps relieve constipation.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s age, condition and response to therapy. Over‑the‑counter products typically provide dosing guidance on the label, but patients should follow the specific instructions given by their doctor or pharmacist.

Safety data for magnesium hydroxide in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss use with their healthcare provider to weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.

GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Compared with calcium‑based antacids, magnesium hydroxide provides both acid neutralisation and a laxative effect, which can be advantageous for patients who also experience constipation. However, calcium antacids may be preferred when a calcium supplement is desired, while magnesium‑based products are often chosen for their dual action.

Store the product at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep it away from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly closed after each use to maintain product stability.

Magnesiumhydroxide Teva is taken orally, usually as a chewable tablet or liquid suspension. It should be swallowed with water or as directed on the label, and may be taken with or without food depending on the specific product instructions.

The most serious risks include hypermagnesemia, which can cause cardiac arrhythmias and neuromuscular impairment, severe dehydration from prolonged diarrhoea, and allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or breathing difficulties. Patients experiencing any of these should seek immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to magnesium hydroxide, severe renal impairment, existing hypermagnesemia, or those on medications that significantly raise magnesium levels should avoid using this product. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential before starting therapy.
