Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Simethicone (activated dimethicone) is a combination of methylated linear siloxane polymers stabilized by trimethylsiloxyl groups with silicon dioxide. The mechanism of its action is explained by the ability to reduce the surface tension at the interface, hinder the formation of new gas bubbles and destroy the intestinal contents and mucus of the gastrointestinal tract. The gases released as a result of this are absorbed by the intestinal walls or are excreted due to peristalsis. Thus, simethicone prevents the formation of large gas-mucous conglomerates that can cause painful bloating.
When performing X-ray and sonography, simethicone prevents the formation of image defects, and also prevents the rupture of the contrast film, improving the irrigation of the colon mucosa with contrast agents.
Simethicone is chemically inert, therefore it does not affect enzymes and microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract. Also, it does not affect the volume of gastric juice and does not change its response, does not reduce food absorption.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, simethicone is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It is excreted unchanged through the intestines.
