What does it do?

Magnesium carbonate is an inorganic compound formed by the combination of magnesium and carbonate, used as an antacid to neutralize stomach acid. It is included in medications for the purpose of alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms and reducing discomfort caused by excessive stomach acid.

Magnesium carbonate chemically neutralizes the excess acid in the stomach, lowering acidity. This reduces irritation of the stomach lining, thereby alleviating symptoms of heartburn and dyspepsia.
