What is Magnesium Hydroxide?

Magnesium hydroxide, the active ingredient in Magnesia S.Pellegrino, is an antacid presented as an oral preparation for oral use. It neutralizes excess stomach acid and can increase intestinal water content, providing relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and occasional constipation in adults.

GNH USA supplies Magnesia S.Pellegrino as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to EU quality standards and provides reliable global distribution.

What is Magnesium Hydroxide used for?

Magnesia S.Pellegrino, a magnesium hydroxide antacid, is used to manage conditions related to excess gastric acidity and reduced bowel motility.

Heartburn: provides rapid neutralization of stomach acid to relieve burning sensation. Acid indigestion: reduces discomfort and bloating caused by excess acid. Occasional constipation: draws water into the intestine to soften stools and promote bowel movements.

What are the side effects of Magnesium Hydroxide?

Magnesium hydroxide may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Diarrhea: loose stools due to increased intestinal water. - Abdominal cramping: discomfort from bowel activity. - Nausea: feeling of unease in the stomach. - Flatulence: excess gas production.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hypermagnesemia: elevated magnesium levels causing muscle weakness or cardiac arrhythmia. - Severe allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Electrolyte imbalance: abnormal levels of potassium or calcium. - Rectal bleeding: uncommon gastrointestinal bleeding.

What precautions apply to Magnesium Hydroxide?

When using Magnesia S.Pellegrino, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and effective therapy.

Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional before use. Renal impairment: use only under medical supervision. Concurrent medications: review all drugs for potential interactions. Dosage: follow prescriber’s instructions and do not exceed recommended amount. Store at below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

What does Magnesium Hydroxide interact with?

Magnesium hydroxide can affect the absorption or activity of several medicines; interactions are classified by clinical significance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Tetracycline antibiotics: magnesium binds and markedly reduces absorption. - Quinolone antibiotics (e.g., ciprofloxacin): decreased bioavailability when taken together. - Iron supplements: magnesium hydroxide impairs iron absorption.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Calcium carbonate or other antacids: additive antacid effect may cause excess alkalinity. - Warfarin: possible alteration of INR; monitor coagulation parameters. - Diuretics (especially thiazides): may exacerbate electrolyte disturbances.

Frequently asked questions

What is Magnesia S.Pellegrino used for?+
Magnesia S.Pellegrino contains magnesium hydroxide and is used as an over‑the‑counter antacid to relieve heartburn and acid indigestion, and as a mild laxative to treat occasional constipation in adults.
How does magnesium hydroxide work?+
Magnesium hydroxide neutralizes stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid to form magnesium chloride and water, raising gastric pH. In the intestines it acts osmotically, retaining water in the lumen, which softens stools and promotes bowel movements.
What is the usual dose of Magnesia S.Pellegrino?+
The appropriate dose of Magnesia S.Pellegrino is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the individual’s condition, age, and response. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.
Is Magnesia S.Pellegrino safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data are limited; therefore, pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use Magnesia S.Pellegrino after consulting a healthcare provider who can weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.
How do I order Magnesia S.Pellegrino from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Magnesia S.Pellegrino compare with other antacids?+
Compared with acid‑neutralizing agents such as calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide offers both antacid and mild laxative effects. It may be preferred when patients need relief from heartburn together with occasional constipation, whereas calcium‑based antacids lack the laxative property.

Store Magnesia S.Pellegrino at temperatures below 25 °C, in its original packaging, and protect it from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain stability and potency.

What are the most serious risks to watch for when using Magnesia S.Pellegrino?+
Serious risks include hypermagnesemia, which can cause muscle weakness, cardiac arrhythmias, and severe allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or breathing difficulty. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Magnesia S.Pellegrino?+
Magnesia S.Pellegrino should be avoided by individuals with known hypersensitivity to magnesium hydroxide, severe renal impairment, or those who have been advised by a healthcare professional to refrain from antacid or laxative therapy.
