Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma'am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but the effect of milk of magnesium lasts for a variable time .. This time is determined by various factors such as the frequency of bowel moments and the dose consumed .. however it lasts on average for 12-24 hours.. Also you can take only one dose of imoduim to counteract its effect before your appointement ..I hope you find this helpful ..
