Medicine Description simethicone-mup 2%
Simethicone 30 mg drops is a medication that functions primarily as an anti-foaming agent. It operates by altering the surface tension of gas bubbles present in the gastrointestinal tract. By reducing the surface tension, simethicone enables smaller gas bubbles to merge into larger ones, which can be more easily eliminated through belching or flatulence. This effect helps alleviate the discomfort associated with gas accumulation and bloating, thereby providing relief from symptoms such as abdominal pain and pressure.
