Simeotik, 40 mg capsules 50 pcs

Pharmacotherapeutic group: antipyrogonics.

ATX code: A03AX13

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics:

Simeotic^® is a drug that reduces the amount of gas in the intestine. The active substance, simethicone, has surface activity and the ability to reduce the surface tension at the liquid/gas interface. This causes merging of gas bubbles and destruction of foam, so that the released gas can be absorbed or excreted naturally under the influence of intestinal peristalsis. The use of Simeotic® in preparation for diagnostic examinations prevents image defects caused by gas bubbles.< br>

Pharmacokinetics:

Simethicone is chemically inert and after oral administration is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and acts only in its lumen. It has no effect on enzymes and microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract. It is excreted unchanged.

Indications

Preparing for diagnostic examinations of the abdominal cavity and pelvis (ultrasound, X-ray studies, etc.).
