Simethicone and Intestinal Gas Bubbles

Mechanism of Action

Simethicone is an antiflatulent agent that acts as a surface-active agent or surfactant.
It alters the surface tension of gas bubbles present in the gastrointestinal tract.

Effect on Gas Bubbles

By lowering surface tension, simethicone causes smaller gas bubbles to coalesce into larger ones.
This process effectively collapses or breaks down the foam and trapped gas pockets.
Consequently, the aggregated gas is more easily eliminated through belching or flatulence, reducing pressure and bloating.
