Digas 120ml Syrup

Simethicone syrup or suspension works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines. Its primary mechanism of action is physical rather than chemical. When simethicone comes into contact with the gas bubbles, it spreads across the bubble's surface, weakening the bubble and making it easier for the gas to break up and disperse. This action helps to alleviate symptoms associated with excessive gas, such as bloating, abdominal discomfort, and flatulence. By breaking up the gas bubbles, simethicone allows the gas to be more easily expelled or absorbed, providing relief from gastrointestinal discomfort caused by trapped gas.
