What is Milk of Magnesia: Preparation and Properties about?

Milk of Magnesia is an antacid and cathartic used to treat occasional constipation. It is an aqueous suspension containing 7-8.5% magnesium hydroxide. It is prepared by dissolving magnesium sulfate in water and reacting it with sodium hydroxide, then washing until sulfates are removed. The resulting product is an opaque, white liquid with a pH of 10 that is not easily pourable but can be redispersed with shaking. It requires storage in tight containers below 35°C to maintain physical stability.
