What is Magnesium Hydroxide?

Magnesium Hydroxide, the active ingredient in Magnesium Evolan, is an antacid presented as an oral dosage form for oral use. It neutralizes excess stomach acid and can increase intestinal water content, providing relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, gastric hyperacidity, and occasional constipation in adults.

GNH USA supplies Magnesium Evolan as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Magnesium Hydroxide used for?

Magnesium Evolan is an antacid and gastrointestinal agent that acts on excess gastric acidity and bowel motility.

Heartburn: provides rapid relief of burning sensation caused by acid reflux. Acid indigestion: reduces discomfort and bloating after meals. Gastric hyperacidity: lowers gastric pH to alleviate chronic acidity. Constipation: increases intestinal water to soften stools and promote bowel movements.

What are the side effects of Magnesium Hydroxide?

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

Common Side Effects: - Diarrhea: loose, watery stools occurring after dosing. - Abdominal cramping: mild to moderate discomfort in the lower abdomen. - Nausea: feeling of unease or urge to vomit. - Flatulence: increased gas production and bloating.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hypermagnesemia: elevated serum magnesium levels, potentially causing muscle weakness or cardiac arrhythmia. - Severe dehydration: excessive fluid loss leading to dizziness or low blood pressure. - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Rectal bleeding: uncommon but may indicate mucosal irritation.

What precautions apply to Magnesium Hydroxide?

Before using Magnesium Evolan, consider the following safety measures.

Assess renal function: impaired kidneys may reduce magnesium clearance. Use with caution in the elderly: increased susceptibility to electrolyte shifts. Avoid prolonged use for constipation: may lead to dependence or electrolyte imbalance. Monitor electrolyte levels: especially if combined with other magnesium‑containing products. Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Magnesium Hydroxide interact with?

Magnesium Evolan can affect the absorption or activity of several medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Tetracycline antibiotics: reduced absorption and efficacy. - Iron supplements: decreased iron uptake when taken together. - Bisphosphonates: impaired absorption of bone‑protective agents.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Digoxin: possible increase in serum digoxin levels. - ACE inhibitors: heightened risk of hypermagnesemia. - Levothyroxine: reduced thyroid hormone absorption requiring timing adjustments.

Frequently asked questions

What is Magnesium Evolan used for?+
Magnesium Evolan is an over‑the‑counter antacid that relieves heartburn, acid indigestion, and gastric hyperacidity. It also acts as a mild laxative by increasing water in the intestines, helping to ease occasional constipation.
How does magnesium hydroxide work?+
Magnesium hydroxide neutralizes stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid to form magnesium chloride and water, raising the gastric pH. In the bowel, it draws water into the lumen, softening stool and promoting peristalsis, which aids bowel movements.
What is the usual dose of Magnesium Evolan?+
The appropriate dose of Magnesium Evolan is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the individual’s condition, age, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.
Is Magnesium Evolan safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for magnesium hydroxide in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk, and under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
How do I order Magnesium Evolan from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA 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.
How does Magnesium Evolan compare with other antacids?+
Compared with aluminum‑based antacids, magnesium hydroxide tends to cause softer stools or diarrhea, while aluminum compounds may cause constipation. It offers a rapid neutralising effect similar to calcium carbonate but without the risk of hypercalcemia. Choice depends on individual tolerance and clinical needs.
How should Magnesium Evolan be stored and handled?+
Store Magnesium Evolan at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children.
How is Magnesium Evolan administered?+
Magnesium Evolan is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but spacing it at least two hours apart from certain medications (e.g., antibiotics, iron) helps avoid absorption interference.
What are the most serious risks associated with Magnesium Evolan?+
Serious risks include hypermagnesemia, which can cause muscle weakness, low blood pressure, or cardiac arrhythmias, especially in patients with renal impairment. Severe dehydration and rare allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty) also warrant immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Magnesium Evolan?+
Individuals with severe renal failure, known hypersensitivity to magnesium compounds, or those already receiving high‑dose magnesium therapy should avoid Magnesium Evolan. It is also contraindicated in patients with intestinal obstruction or severe electrolyte disturbances without medical supervision.
