Milk of Magnesia Saline Laxative Original by Philips is a liquid laxative designed to relieve occasional constipation. The 12 fl oz (355 ml) bottle contains a magnesium hydroxide suspension, which works as an osmotic laxative. It draws water into the intestines, helping to create bowel movements within 30 minutes to 6 hours after intake. The product is suitable for adults and children aged 6 years and older.

Dosage instructions for adults and children over 12 years old are 2 to 4 tablespoons (30 to 60 ml) once a day, while children aged 6 to 11 years should take 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) once daily. It is recommended to shake the bottle well before use and measure the liquid with a dosing cup. For best results, consume with a full glass of water.
