Pharmacotherapeutic group: other medicinal products for the treatment of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.
ATX code: A03AX13. Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Simethicone is a chemically inert methylsiloxane polymer containing about 5% silicon dioxide.
Simethicone has foaming and anti-foaming properties and significantly reduces the surface tension of purified water and model surfactant solutions. The results of foaming experiments demonstrated complete foam destruction within 3-6 seconds when adding a liquid suspension of simethicone at a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. Below this threshold, complete foam destruction does not occur. As a defoamer simethicone is also effective at a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. This effect lasts for more than 24 hours.
The mechanism of action is based on the distribution of the silicone liquid over the surface of the foam film as well as on a local change in surface tension in the contact area. This causes rapid drainage of the liquid, which helps to break up the film, with the consequent possibility for the released gas to be absorbed or expelled naturally.
Pharmacokinetics
Simethicone is a chemically inert substance that has no physiological activity and is not absorbed, passed through the digestive tract and eliminated as is.
