Initially recognized for its antacid properties, it alleviated symptoms of dyspepsia and peptic ulcers. Over the years, formulations have incorporated it not only as an antacid but also as a laxative due to its osmotic properties, which help draw water into the intestines. Its efficacy and safety have established it as a staple in gastrointestinal therapies.
