Is milk of magnesia good for muscle cramps?

Milk of magnesia, which contains magnesium hydroxide, may help alleviate muscle cramps due to magnesium's role in muscle function and relaxation. However, it is primarily used as a laxative and for treating indigestion, rather than directly for muscle cramps. For muscle cramping, other magnesium supplements or dietary sources may be more effective. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using any medication for cramps.
