Leite De Magnésia Phillips

Magnesium hydroxide, the active ingredient in Leite De Magnésia Phillips, is an antacid and laxative presented as an oral suspension for oral use. It neutralizes excess stomach acid to relieve heartburn and indigestion, and it increases intestinal water content to facilitate bowel movements in adults and children.

GNH USA supplies Leite De Magnésia Phillips as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to stringent quality standards and provides regulatory documentation for global distribution.

Leite De Magnésia Phillips (magnesium hydroxide) acts as an antacid and osmotic laxative to manage gastrointestinal discomfort.

- Heartburn and acid indigestion: provides rapid relief by neutralizing gastric acid. - Dyspepsia: reduces gastric acidity and associated discomfort. - Constipation: increases intestinal water content to promote softer stools and easier passage.

Adverse reactions may occur with oral magnesium hydroxide use.

Common Side Effects: - Diarrhea: loose stools due to increased intestinal water. - Abdominal cramping: mild discomfort from accelerated motility. - Flatulence: excess gas production. - Nausea: occasional upset stomach. - Taste alteration: mild metallic taste. - Electrolyte disturbance (mild): transient changes in serum magnesium.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hypermagnesemia: elevated serum magnesium, especially in renal impairment. - Severe dehydration: excessive fluid loss from prolonged diarrhea. - Acute abdominal pain: may indicate obstruction. - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, or swelling. - Anaphylaxis: rare, life‑threatening hypersensitivity.

Before using Leite De Magnésia Phillips, consider the following precautions. - Dosage adjustment in renal impairment: monitor magnesium levels and reduce dose if needed. - Avoid in patients with intestinal obstruction: risk of worsening blockage. - Use caution in elderly: increased susceptibility to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. - Do not combine with other antacids without medical advice: may cause excess alkalinity. - Pregnancy and breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional as safety data are limited. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Magnesium hydroxide can interact with several medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antacids containing aluminum or calcium: may reduce magnesium hydroxide absorption. - Tetracycline or fluoroquinolone antibiotics: can form insoluble complexes, decreasing antibiotic efficacy. - Warfarin: magnesium may potentiate anticoagulant effect; monitor INR closely.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Digoxin: magnesium may affect serum levels; monitor for toxicity. - Potassium‑sparing diuretics: additive effect on electrolyte balance. - Iron supplements: concurrent use may reduce iron absorption; separate dosing by at least 2 hours.
