How Simethicone Works

Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent that acts locally within the gastrointestinal tract. It lowers the surface tension of gas bubbles, allowing them to combine into larger bubbles that are more easily expelled through belching or passing gas. Since simethicone is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream, it acts primarily within the digestive system.
