Alumunium hydroxide acts on the HCl in the stomach by neutralization, forming aluminium chloride salt and water.
Magnesium hydroxide increases peristaltic activity causing osmotic retention of fluids, thus resulting in bowel evacuation. It also reduces stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid to form Mg chloride.
