Pharmacodynamics

Active ingredient-simethicone, reduces the amount of gases in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT): it has surfactant properties and the ability to reduce surface tension at the liquid / gas interface, which makes it difficult to form gas bubbles, and also contributes to their fusion and destruction of foam in the intestines, as a result of which the released gas is absorbed and removed naturally under the influence of intestinal motility. The use of simentikon in preparation for diagnostic tests prevents the occurrence of image defects caused by gas bubbles.
