Milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide): does decrease your blood pressure, which is an important known fact. How much it lowers is dependent on the amount you take and your cardiac health over all. Magnesium acts on the endocardium (muscle of the heart) and relaxes it to a certain extent. it has similar effects with blood vessel epithelium. If you take blood pressure medications you may need to talk to your doctor about this effect.
