Flatulex contains Simethicone, a surface-active antifoaming agent. It acts in the stomach and intestines, reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles, which allows them to combine and be eliminated more easily.
This action helps:
- Relieve pressure and bloating
- Alleviate post-operative gas pain
- Enhance visibility during gastroscopy
- Reduce gas shadows in intestinal radiography
Flatulex is a reliable antiflatulent used to alleviate symptoms related to excess gastrointestinal gas, such as:
- Bloating
- Abdominal distention
- Fullness
- Windy colic
- Flatulence
It’s especially useful for infants, helping to ease gas buildup in the stomach and intestines. The medication enables gas to be released more comfortably through belching or flatulence.
Other key uses include:
Large bowel preparation: When added to polyethylene glycol, it helps reduce gas discomfort before diagnostic procedures.
Foaming detergent ingestion: Occasionally used to manage accidental ingestion by breaking down foam in the digestive system.
