What does it do?

Simethicone is a surfactant used to disperse and eliminate gas in the digestive tract. It is primarily included in medications to alleviate symptoms of indigestion or abdominal distension. It works effectively in the digestive tract in the form of a 30% emulsion.

Simethicone lowers the surface tension of gas bubbles in the intestines, helping smaller gas bubbles to coalesce and be expelled easily. This reduces abdominal bloating and discomfort. It acts without being absorbed by the body.

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

Good to know

Unlike other digestive aids, simethicone is specialized in directly removing gas. It is characterized by physically dispersing gas without systemic absorption, unlike digestive enzymes or antacids.
