What does it do?

Simethicone powder is an ingredient used in antacids that decreases gas produced in the gastrointestinal tract. This ingredient helps reduce gas bubbles in the stomach, making it easier to expel.

Simethicone powder lowers the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach, helping the gas to merge and be expelled easily. As a result, abdominal bloating and discomfort are reduced, leading to improved digestion.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Simethicone powder is distinguished from other digestives in that it does not directly absorb or break down gas but facilitates expulsion by reducing the size of gas bubbles. It is also safe to use as it is not absorbed by the body.
