DESCRIPTION White aqueous suspension. PROPERTIES PHARMACODYNAMIC Simethicone is liquid dimethicone activated with finely divided silicon dioxide to enhance the defoaming properties of the silicone. Simethicone acts by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thus facilitating their coalescence and expulsion as flatus or belching. It also prevents the formation and accumulation of mucus-enclosed pockets of gas in digestive tract. Simethicone facilitates the passage of gas through bowel lumen and allows patients to excrete a greater volume of gas at one time, thereby reducing the number of flatus events. Thus, less residual gas is present to cause uncomfortable or painful pressure in the stomach and intestines. PHARMACOKINETICS Simethicone is pharmacologically inert and is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract nor does it interfere with gastric secretion or absorption of nutrients. Following oral administration, the drug is excreted in faeces unchanged. INDICATION SIMCONE SUSPENSION is indicated for the relief of discomfort and pain caused by excessive gas in the stomach and intestines as in flatulence, dyspepsia, meteorism, and post-operative gaseous distension. SIMCONE SUSPENSION can be used to eliminate gas, air and foam from the gastrointestinal tract prior to endoscopic examination or radiography. RECOMMENDED DOSAGE For oral administration.
