Simeotik, 80 mg capsules 30 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

Excessive formation and accumulation of gases in the gastrointestinal tract (flatulence, Roemheld syndrome, aerophagia, increased gas formation in the postoperative period);

Preparation for diagnostic studies of the abdominal and pelvic organs (ultrasound, X-ray studies, etc.);

Symptoms of excessive gas formation caused by functional dyspepsia;

Acute poisoning from detergents containing foaming agents (as an antifoam agent).

Pharmacological effect

Pharmacotherapeutic group: carminative.
