Simeotic® 100 mg/ml

Simeotic® 100 mg/ml

Simethicone

Simeotic for bloating and excess gas "collapses" the gas bubbles, and the released gas is either easily absorbed or eliminated naturally. The pain diminishes, and simultaneously, the intestinal mucosa is "cleared," allowing other medications to be absorbed as intended.

Description

Simeotic® is a drug that reduces the amount of gas in the intestines. The active substance, simethicone, has surface activity and the ability to reduce surface tension at the gas/liquid interface. This leads to the coalescence of gas bubbles and the breakdown of foam, allowing the released gas to be either absorbed or eliminated naturally through intestinal peristalsis. 

Dosage form and composition

Oral drops, 40 mg/ml and 100 mg/ml.

30 ml in a dark glass bottle with a dosing device (dropper plug) and a plastic cap or a cap with a first-opening control.

A self-adhesive label is affixed to the bottle.

1 bottle, together with a polypropylene measuring cup and the package insert, is placed in a cardboard carton.

Active ingredient:

Simethicone*

Description

A white or almost white emulsion, homogeneous after shaking, with a characteristic odor.

ATC Code: A03AX13

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

The active substance, simethicone, reduces the amount of gas in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). It has surface-active properties and the ability to reduce surface tension at the gas/liquid interface, which hinders the formation of gas bubbles and also promotes their coalescence and the breakdown of foam in the intestine. Consequently, the released gas is absorbed or eliminated naturally under the influence of intestinal peristalsis. The use of simethicone in preparation for diagnostic examinations of the abdominal organs prevents the occurrence of image defects caused by gas bubbles.

Pharmacokinetics

Simethicone is chemically inert. After oral administration, it is not absorbed from the GIT and acts only within its lumen. It does not interact with microorganisms or enzymes and does not affect digestive processes. It is excreted by the intestines unchanged.

Indications for use

  • Excessive formation and accumulation of gas in the GIT (flatulence, postoperative gas buildup);

  • Acute poisoning by detergents containing foaming agents (tensides), as an antifoaming agent.

  • Preparation for diagnostic examinations of the abdominal and pelvic organs (ultrasound, radiography, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, etc.), including as an additive to contrast agent suspensions for double-contrast imaging;

  • Symptoms of intestinal colic in newborns and infants;

  • Symptoms of excess gas caused by functional dyspepsia;

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, intestinal obstruction, galactosemia, glucose-galactose malabsorption, hereditary fructose intolerance.

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

Simeotic® can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
