Gas Aide (Simethicone): Uses, Side Effects, and How to Take It
Gas Aide contains simethicone, an over-the-counter medicine that breaks up gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines. It is used to relieve gas, bloating, pressure, and fullness, including symptoms related to constipation or trapped gas. It does not treat the underlying cause of ongoing digestive problems.
Gas Aide can provide short-term relief from gas and bloating. Follow the directions for your specific product, and ask a doctor or pharmacist if symptoms persist, worsen, or keep returning.
