COLIC EZ DROP 30ML

Simethicone, the active ingredient in Simethicone Drops, works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines. When taken orally, it localizes at the gas-liquid interface of these bubbles, allowing them to combine and form larger bubbles. These larger bubbles are easier for the body to eliminate through burping or passing gas. This mechanism helps to alleviate the symptoms associated with excessive gas, such as bloating, abdominal discomfort, and flatulence, by facilitating the expulsion of gas from the gastrointestinal tract.
