Form: 30.0 mL, brown bottle, oil-based syrup Composition: 1 mL contains Simethicone 66.66 mg (as a 30% emulsion – 222.2 mg) Indications:
Excessive gas formation and accumulation in the GI tract (colic, bloating, flatulence, including post-operative; Roemheld syndrome, aerophagia).
Preparation for diagnostic tests of the abdominal and pelvic organs (X-ray, ultrasound, gastroscopy, duodenoscopy – to prevent foam formation).
Pharmacological Action: Simethicone is a combination of methylated linear siloxane polymers stabilized with trimethylsiloxy groups and silicon dioxide. It reduces surface tension at the gas-liquid interface, preventing foam formation and promoting the collapse of gas bubbles in the intestines. Released gases are either absorbed by the intestinal walls or eliminated through peristalsis. This prevents the formation of large gas-mucus conglomerates that cause painful bloating. During imaging diagnostics, it:
Prevents artifacts in X-ray and ultrasound images.
Improves coating of the colon mucosa with contrast agents.
Chemically inert – does not affect gut microbiota or enzymes.
Does not interfere with nutrient absorption or alter gastric juice volume/pH.
Dosage: Take orally after meals. Shake well before use. Hold the bottle vertically for accurate dosing.
