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.
