Pharmacological action
Pharmacodynamics
Espumisan ® baby reduces the amount of gas in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The active substance – simethicone has surface-active properties and the ability to reduce surface tension at the liquid / gas interface, which contributes to the fusion of gas bubbles and the destruction of foam in the intestine, as a result of which the released gas is absorbed or removed naturally under the influence of intestinal motility.
The use of simethicone in preparation for diagnostic tests of the abdominal organs prevents the occurrence of image defects caused by gas bubbles.
Pharmacokinetics
Simethicone is chemically inert, after oral administration it is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and acts only in its lumen. It does not interact with microorganisms and enzymes and does not affect digestion processes. It is excreted by the intestine unchanged.
