SIMETHICONE

Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent that helps relieve symptoms of gas such as painful or uncomfortable or pressure, fullness, or bloating. In the digestive tract, its actions decrease the surface tension of gas bubbles, causing them to form larger bubbles. However, it is to be noted that it cannot reduce or prevent gas formation in the digestive tract. Eventually, it provides relief from symptoms of excessive gas, like bloating, burping and flatulence.

Simethicone is sold, under the Brand names like Alka-Seltzer® Anti-Gas, Colic Drops, Colicon®, Degas®, Flatulex® Drops, amongst others. Mcneil-Ppc, Inc. filed the first patent for making this medicine in 1997 for their Simethicone/ anhydrous calcium phosphate compositions. Later, Shire Laboratories, Inc. also filed for patents in 1999 followed by Panacea Biotec Ltd in 2005 for the specific formulations and preparations.

How does Simethicone work?

Simethicone is a silicone compound that works like a non-systemic surfactant. These compounds decrease the surface tension of gas bubbles in the GI tract. The resulting outcome is a coalescence and dispersion of the gas bubbles, which makes it easy to dispel from the GI tract in flatulence or belching. Overall, its actions make it easy for the patients to pass gas from the body thus reducing the pain or pressure from the gas in the tract.
