Pharmacodynamics

It changes the surface tension of the gas bubbles contained in the food gruel and the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, as a result of which they disintegrate. The released gases can then be absorbed by the intestinal walls, and also excreted due to intestinal peristalsis.

Simethicone has an exclusively physical effect, it does not participate in chemical reactions and is inert in pharmacological and physiological terms.

Pharmacokinetics
Simethicone is not absorbed when taken orally and is excreted unchanged through the gastrointestinal tract.
