Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
By reducing the surface tension at the interface, simethicone - the active component of Sub Simplex - inhibits the formation and ensures the destruction of gas bubbles in the intestinal contents. The gases that are released during this can be absorbed by the intestinal walls or excreted due to peristaltic activity.
In X-ray and sonography, simethicone prevents overlap and interference in images and provides better irrigation of the colon mucosa with contrast agent, preventing damage to the contrast film.
The active ingredient Sub Simplex changes the surface tension of gas bubbles that form in the contents of the stomach and intestinal mucus, which leads to their destruction. The released gases are absorbed into the intestinal walls or are excreted during intestinal peristalsis. Simethicone provides a physical removal of foam and does not participate in chemical reactions.
Pharmacokinetics
Since simethicone is physically and chemically inert, it is not absorbed in the body and, after passing through the gastrointestinal tract, is excreted unchanged.
Indications for use

- poisoning with detergents in an acute course when they enter the stomach;
- preparation for diagnostic studies of the gastrointestinal tract (X-ray, ultrasound, esophagogastroduodenoscopy).
