Pharmacological action

Pharmacotherapy group:  carminative agent.

ATX code:  A03AX13

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics :

Simeotic® is a drug that reduces the amount of gas in the intestines. Active ingredient – simethicone has surface activity and the ability to reduce surface tension at the liquid / gas interface. In this case, the gas bubbles merge and the foam is destroyed, as a result of which the released gas is able to be absorbed or removed naturally under the influence of intestinal motility. The use of Simeotic® in preparation for diagnostic tests prevents the occurrence of image defects caused by gas bubbles.

Pharmacokinetics:

Simethicone is chemically inert; after oral use, it is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and acts only in its lumen. It does not affect the enzymes and microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract. It is output unchanged.

Indications

Excessive formation and accumulation of gases in the gastrointestinal tract (flatulence, Remfeld syndrome, aerophagia, increased gas formation in the postoperative period);

Preparation for diagnostic examinations of the abdominal and pelvic organs (ultrasound, X-ray examinations, etc. );

Symptoms of excessive gas formation caused by functional dyspepsia;

Acute poisoning with detergents containing foaming agents (as a defoamer).

Use during pregnancy and lactation

Simeotic® can be used during pregnancy and lactation.

How to take, course of use and dosage

For complaints related to excessive gas formation:

Adults and children over 6 years of age: 2 capsules of 40 mg or 1 capsule of 80 mg 3-5 times a day, with a small amount of liquid, after each meal and before going to bed.

The duration of treatment depends on the presence of symptoms of increased gas formation. If necessary, Simeotic® can be used for a long period of time.
