Simethicone
Simethicone is an antifoaming agent composed of a mixture of polydimethylsiloxanes and silica gel that reduces surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating their coalescence and expulsion to relieve bloating, flatulence, and gas-associated discomfort. It is pharmacologically inert and not systemically absorbed, acting entirely within the GI lumen. It is widely used as an adjunct in endoscopic procedures to reduce foam interference and as an over-the-counter remedy for gastrointestinal gas.
