Pharmacodynamics

Espumisan baby is a drug for reducing the amount of gas in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Its mechanism of action is based on the ability of simethicone to reduce the surface tension at the interface between liquid and gas media. The surface-active properties of simethicone promote the fusion of gas bubbles and cause the destruction of foam in the intestine. The released gas is absorbed or excreted naturally under the influence of intestinal motility. The use of the drug during preparation for examinations of the abdominal organs allows obtaining accurate diagnostic data and avoiding image defects caused by gas bubbles.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, simethicone is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The chemical inertness of the active substance allows it to act only in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. The drug does not affect the digestion processes, since it does not interact with bacteria and enzymes.
It is excreted through the intestines unchanged.
