Is Milk Of Magnesia Safe To Take Post Alcohol Consumption?

i had an acute diverticulitis attack in august. since then, my bowel movements have been irregular. i have been somewhat constipated lately and not having complete bowel movements. today i have been experiencing mild pain (in the diverticular area). i called my g.i. doctors office and he suggested that i try some milk of magnesia. i had a couple glasses of wine with a friend earlier. i was concerned with any interaction issues.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are no known interactions between alcohol and milk of magnesia ,so they can be safely used together.

If you wish to cross check , you can use the drug interaction checker at drugs.com.

The milk of magnesia is usually over the counter.

I hope this helps and wish you better
