Magins Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called mineral supplements used to treat acute hypomagnesaemia, a condition characterized by abnormally low magnesium levels in the blood. It is also used to treat stomach upset, heartburn, and acid indigestion. It may also be used for rapid emptying of the bowel before surgery, and as a laxative to treat occasional constipation. Magins Tablet is involved in various body processes such as hormone receptor binding, muscular contraction, neuronal activity, neurotransmitter release, and vasomotor tone. It is required for active potassium and calcium transport across the cell membrane. It is an alkaliser that neutralises acid in the stomach, thereby treating heartburn, stomach upset, and indigestion. Magnesium oxide treats constipation by drawing water into the intestine and stimulating bowel movement.
