Each tablet contains:
Simethicone — 80 mg.
Simethicone is a silicon based surfactant. It is the mixture of α-(Trimethylsilyl)-ω-methylpoly [oxy(dimethylsilylene)] with silicon dioxide. Chemical formula is C₆H₁₈O₄Si₃ and its molecular weight is 238.46.
Simethicone aids in the dispersion and inhibits formation of “mucus-surrounded” gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract. This anti-foam action is exerted by changing the surface tension of the gastrointestinal gas bubbles so that they coalesce. This permits escape of trapped gas, which then can be...
Simethicone has been widely investigated and used. It has a rapid action and is non-toxic. Being physiologically inert, it has no effect on digestion and is not absorbed through the gastrointestinal mucosa. Infants have been shown to tolerate simethicone well.
By dispersing gas bubbles with the anti-flatulent, contact with the gastric antacid is facilitated. Coverage of the mucosa by the antacid and demulcent agents is also improved.
As simethicone is not systemically absorbed, no pharmacokinetics data are available. Simethicone has been reported to be excreted unchanged in the faeces.
It is indicated for accumulation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract; sensation of pressure and fullness in epigastrium. It is used to relieve symptoms of extra gas such as belching, bloating and discomfort in the stomach/gut.
Adults: 40 to 80 mg orally four times daily as needed after meals and at bedtime; or as directed by the physician.
Children ages 2 to 12 years: 40 mg orally four times daily as needed after meals and at bedtime; or as directed by the physician.
Chew the tablets thoroughly before swallowing.
No severe side effects have been reported with the use of simethicone. Most of the side effects were mild and reversible including gastrointestinal side effects like diarrhea (mild), nausea, regurgitation and vomiting, etc.
No severe side effects have been reported. It is not advisable to exceed the recommended dosage.
No significant drug interactions. Simethicone may reduce the absorption of levothyroxine. Therefore, levothyroxine can be taken at least 4 hours before or after products that contain simethicone.
It is contraindicated in patients who have known hypersensitivity to simethicone or simethicone containing products.
Store below 30°C in cool and dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach and sight of children.
