What is Simeticone used for?
Simeticone is used to alleviate gastrointestinal gas‑related conditions.
Flatulence: reduces the volume and discomfort of intestinal gas. Abdominal bloating: diminishes the sensation of a distended abdomen. Gastrointestinal gas: facilitates the coalescence and elimination of gas bubbles in the digestive tract.
