Description

Indications

This medication is formulated to alleviate symptoms associated with excessive gas, including belching, bloating, and sensations of pressure or discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract. The active ingredient, simethicone, is known for its effectiveness in breaking down gas bubbles within the gut.

Uses and Dosage

Simethicone is available in various forms, including regular tablets, chewable tablets, capsules, and liquid, intended for oral administration. The recommended dosage is typically four times a day, to be taken after meals and at bedtime.

Carefully follow the instructions provided on the package or as indicated on your prescription label. Should any aspect be unclear, seek clarification from your doctor or pharmacist.

For regular tablets and capsules, they should be swallowed whole without crushing or chewing. In the case of chewable tablets, ensure thorough chewing before swallowing, avoiding swallowing them whole.

Do not exceed the daily maximum dosage of six simethicone tablets or eight simethicone capsules unless expressly advised by your doctor. If using the liquid form, it may be mixed with 1 ounce (30 milliliters) of cool water or infant formula as directed.

Always adhere to the prescribed dosage and avoid altering it, either by taking more or less than prescribed, or by increasing the frequency beyond your doctor’s recommendation.
