Pharmacological action
Pharmacodynamics
EspumisanÒ is a drug that reduces gas in the intestines. The active substance, simethicone, has surface activity and the ability to reduce the surface tension at the interface of the liquid/gas medium. This causes merging of gas bubbles and destruction of foam, so that the released gas can be absorbed and excreted naturally under the influence of intestinal peristalsis. The use of EspumisanÒ in preparation for diagnostic examinations prevents image defects caused by gas bubbles.
Pharmacokinetics
Simethicone is chemically inert and is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) after oral administration and acts only in its lumen. It has no effect on enzymes and microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract. It is excreted unchanged.
Indications
– excessive formation and accumulation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract (meteorism, Remchelde syndrome, aerophagia, increased gas formation in the postoperative period);
– preparation for diagnostic studies of the abdomen and pelvis (ultrasound, X-ray studies, etc.).
– symptoms of excessive gas caused by functional dyspepsia;
– acute poisoning with detergents containing foaming agents (as defoamer).
