Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

Simethicone is a chemically inert substance with surface activity and defoaming action. In the lumen of the intestine acts as a defoamer: reduces the tension of gas bubbles. The released gases are absorbed by the walls of the intestine, and some are eliminated naturally by intestinal peristalsis. Simethicone acts on the surface of gas bubbles, without affecting the mucosa and not being absorbed. By eliminating the vesicles, digestion and assimilation of nutrients are normalized. Application before ultrasound and X-ray examination prevents the occurrence of artifacts that cause gas bubbles. It does not contain sugar, so it can be used for diabetes mellitus.

It is not absorbed in the intestines, it is excreted unchanged.

Reviews about Espumisan

From bloating, well known to everyone, Espomizan's drug helps, since its advertising is constantly on hearing. Reviews about Espumisane are mostly positive and this is justified. First of all, it is used to treat flatulence of any etiology, it acts only in the intestines and is not absorbed, can be used for a long time, combined with other drugs and is suitable for the whole family. Someone helps him more, some - less, but it depends on the severity of flatulence and its causes (dysbiosis and chronic gastrointestinal diseases or just flatulence of alimentary genesis after eating grapes or cabbage). If taking the drug does not help, you need to be examined by a gastroenterologist to find out the cause of flatulence. Some argue that the drug is effective the first two weeks from the start of treatment.
