🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionMagnesium hydroxide is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; its osmotic effect occurs locally. Liquid Paraffin is not absorbed to a significant extent when taken orally.
DistributionNot established from the available information.
Protein BindingNot established from the available information.
MetabolismMagnesium hydroxide is not metabolized; it is excreted in the feces. Liquid Paraffin is not metabolized and is excreted unchanged in the feces.
Half-LifeNot established from the available information.
ExcretionPrimarily excreted in the feces. Small amounts of absorbed magnesium may be excreted renally.
BioavailabilityNot established from the available information.
Onset of Action6 to 8 hours after oral administration.
Peak Plasma TimeNot applicable due to local action.
Duration of Action6 to 8 hours.

How It Works

This medicine combines two laxatives with complementary mechanisms. Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide) is an osmotic laxative that increases osmotic pressure in the intestinal lumen, drawing water into the colon and stimulating peristalsis. Liquid Paraffin is an emollient laxative that forms a waterproof film over the stool and intestinal mucosa, reducing water absorption and lubricating the stool for easier passage.

Mechanism Steps

1
Osmotic action of Milk of Magnesia: Magnesium hydroxide attracts water into the intestines, increasing stool water content and volume, which stimulates bowel motility.
2
Lubricant action of Liquid Paraffin: Liquid Paraffin coats the stool and intestinal lining with an oily film, preventing water reabsorption and reducing friction.
3
Combined effect: The softened and lubricated stool is propelled more easily through the colon, promoting defecation.
