Pharmacological action of Espumisan
According to the instructions, Espumisan helps to reduce gas formation in the intestines. Simethicone, the main component of the drug, is a surfactant that helps to reduce the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, which subsequently disintegrate. In this case, the released gases can be removed from the body due to intestinal motility, or be absorbed by its walls.
The use of Espumisan before diagnostic and surgical operations contributes to a clearer image, as it removes gas bubbles, and also helps to more thoroughly irrigate the mucous membrane of the colon with a contrast agent, preventing the contrast film from bursting even in case of intestinal distention.
Indications for the use of Espumisan
According to the instructions, Espumisan is indicated in the following cases:
- Flatulence (bloating caused by the accumulation of a large amount of gas inside), including in patients in the postoperative period;
- Before carrying out diagnostic or surgical operations of the abdominal cavity;
- Dyspepsia;
- Airbrushing;
- Remheld's syndrome.
Use the drug or analogues of Espumisan as a "defoamer" in case of poisoning with detergents, and also as an additive to the suspension of contrast agents in order to obtain a double contrast image.
According to reviews, Espumisan is effective for colic and flatulence in infants.
Dosing and Administration of Espumisan
For flatulence in adults, the dosage is 80 mg (two teaspoons of the emulsion or two capsules) three to five times a day.
Children aged six to fourteen are usually prescribed the drug at a dose of 40-80 mg three to five times a day.
For children from birth to six years old, Espumisan is allowed only in the form of an emulsion. The dosage is 40 mg (one teaspoon or 25 drops) three to five times per duck. For infants, the emulsion should be given with a bottle of food or immediately after a meal.
In case of poisoning with detergents, the drug is given in an amount of 50-100 ml for adults or 10-50 ml for children, depending on the severity of the poisoning.
To obtain a double contrast image, a drug in the form of an emulsion or an analogue of Espumisan is used at the rate of 20-40 ml per one liter of contrast suspension.
Before performing diagnostic or surgical operations, patients take 80 mg of the drug (two teaspoons or two capsules) three times a day one day before the operation, and 80 mg in the morning on an empty stomach on the day of the operation.
