Magnesium oxide (MgO), an inorganic compound that occurs in nature as the mineral periclase. In aqueous media combines quickly with water to form magnesium hydroxide. It is used as an antacid and mild laxative and has many nonmedicinal uses. Magnesium oxide (MgO) is widely used as an effective and safe laxative and antacid. Previous studies have shown that the hardness of tableted MgO increases during storage under high humidity in the unpackaged state. This is also used to maintain the hardness of orally disintegrating tablets during unpackaged storage. Magnesium oxide is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a tablet and capsule diluent.
