What is Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia Wild Cherry?
Overview
Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia Wild Cherry is an over-the-counter medication providing dual-action relief for both digestive upset and occasional constipation. This 350ml bottle contains a liquid formula with a pleasant wild cherry flavor, making it easier to take. It's a trusted choice for those seeking gentle and effective relief.
Dual Action Benefits
Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia works in two distinct ways to address different digestive concerns. As an antacid, it helps to neutralize stomach acid, providing fast relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. As a laxative, it draws water into the intestines, softening the stool and promoting bowel movements to relieve occasional constipation.
- Antacid: Relieves heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach.
- Laxative: Provides gentle relief from occasional constipation.
How Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia Works
Mechanism of Action
The active ingredient in Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia is magnesium hydroxide. As an antacid, magnesium hydroxide reacts with stomach acid to neutralize it, reducing the acidity and relieving symptoms. As a laxative, magnesium hydroxide is poorly absorbed by the intestines, causing water to be drawn into the bowel. This increased water content softens the stool, making it easier to pass.
Onset and Duration of Effects
The antacid effects of Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia typically take effect within minutes, providing rapid relief from heartburn and indigestion. As a laxative, it usually produces a bowel movement within 30 minutes to 6 hours. It’s important to note that individual results may vary.
How to Use Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia

For laxative use, adults and children 12 years and older can take 2 to 4 tablespoons (30 to 60 mL) preferably at bedtime. Follow with a full glass of water. Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose.
Important Usage Considerations
It's crucial to drink plenty of water when taking Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia, especially for laxative use. Do not take this product within 2 hours of other medications as it can affect their absorption. If you experience no bowel movement after using the laxative for 7 days, consult a doctor.
