Espumisan baby 30ml

Pharmacotherapeutic group

Drugs affecting the digestive tract and metabolism.

The drug Espumisan baby contains simethicone - a stable surface polydimethylsiloxane, which reduces the surface tension of gas bubbles contained in the food mass, contributing to their destruction. Gases, which are released at the same time, are taken out or absorbed into the blood. The action of simethicone is of a purely physical nature, it does not participate in chemical reactions and is inert in pharmacological and physiological terms.
