Relief of symptoms caused by excess gas in the stomach and intestines, including bloating, pressure, fullness, and abdominal discomfort or pain in infants and children.
Simethicone, the active ingredient, acts as an antiflatulent by altering the surface tension of gas bubbles in the digestive tract, causing them to combine into larger bubbles that can be more easily burped up or passed through the intestines.
This medication is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects as it is not absorbed into the bloodstream. It is important to follow dosing instructions based on the child's age and weight. Consult a healthcare provider before use in infants under 12 months, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.
