pharmachologic effect

The drug Espumisan extra reduces the amount of gas in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The active substance is simethicone; it has surface-active properties and the ability to reduce surface tension at the interface between two liquid / gas media, which promotes the confluence of gas bubbles and the destruction of foam in the intestine, as a result of which the released gas is absorbed or excreted naturally under the influence of intestinal motility. The use of simethicone in preparation for conducting diagnostic studies of the abdominal cavity prevents the appearance of image defects caused by gas bubbles.

Simethicone is chemically inert, after oral administration is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and acts only in its lumen. Does not interact with microorganisms and enzymes and does not affect the processes of digestion. Excreted in the intestine unchanged.
