What does it do?

Simeticone is a drug used to eliminate gas in the gastrointestinal tract. It is primarily used to relieve dyspepsia and abdominal bloating. This ingredient helps by reducing the size of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating their expulsion.

Simeticone lowers the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing the gas to aggregate and be expelled more easily. This can help reduce uncomfortable symptoms caused by gas remaining in the gastrointestinal tract.

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

Good to know

Simeticone acts by physically breaking down gas bubbles rather than directly absorbing or neutralizing gas. This characteristic distinguishes it from other digestive aids.
