MAGVET PLUS

Each 5 ml contains Magnesium Hydroxide BP 300 mg and Liquid Paraffin BP 125 mg.

The osmotic force of magnesium hydroxide acts to draw fluids from the body and retain those already within the lumen of the intestine, serving to distend the bowel. This stimulates nerves within the colon wall, inducing peristalsis and resulting in the evacuation of colonic contents. Magnesium hydroxide also acts as an alkali to neutralize acid, while liquid paraffin acts as a stool lubricant. MAGVET PLUS
