Activated Charcoal + Simethicone
INFORMATION ABOUT ACTIVATED CHARCOAL + SIMETHICONE
Activated Charcoal + Simethicone Uses
Activated Charcoal+Simethicone is used in the treatment of flatulence (gas formation).
How Activated Charcoal + Simethicone works
Activated Charcoal + Simethicone is a combination of two drugs named activated charcoal and simethicone. The extra spaces in the charcoal trap gas molecules, reducing the gas that causes bloating. Simethicone works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). It also restricts the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.
Common side effects of Activated Charcoal + Simethicone
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
