Milk of Magnesia and Daily Consumption

Dear Ask The Doctor: Is it safe to take milk of magnesia daily? I have been for 3-6 months (2-6tbs). If not, can I stop cold turkey. Is it possible that taking it daily for the last few months caused any long term damage???
Dear VJ: You can take milk of magnesia daily as it acts as a strong osmotic laxative and helps with constipation. It does not accumulate in the body and does not cause any withdrawal reactions when stopped abruptly thus it is safe to do so. All the best. |
