Magnesium carbonate is an inorganic compound used mainly as a magnesium supplement to treat magnesium deficiency, dyspepsia, and as an antacid for the relief of indigestion and heartburn. It is approved for use as an over-the-counter antacid and laxative, but it is not commonly used in hospitals for acute hypomagnesemia due to slow absorption.
Estimated oral pharmacokinetic parameters for healthy adult individuals, as no literature reports detailed PK studies for magnesium carbonate as a drug. Parameters inferred from general knowledge of oral magnesium salt absorption.
