Magnesium trisilicate is an inorganic compound that is used as a food additive. The additive is often employed by fast foodchains to absorb fatty acids and remove impurities that form in edible oils during the frying process.

Usage:

1. Magnesium trisilicate can be used as an antacid in the treatment of peptic ulcers. It increases the pH of gastric juice via a neutralisation reaction. It also precipitates colloidal silica, which can coat gastrointestinal mucosa conferring further protection.

2. It can also be used in oral pharmaceutical formulations and food products as a glidant. It is also used therapeutically as an antacid, and also for the treatment of ciprofloxacin overdose or toxicity.
