gas), gastric bloating, and postoperative gas pains.

This fast onset of action is due to how the medication works to relieve gas.

How Gas-X (Simethicone) Works

Simethicone is commonly referred to as an "anti-foaming" agent as it disperses and prevents the formation of mucus-surrounded gas pockets (i.e.

bubbles) in the GI tract.

It does this by altering the surface tension of gas bubbles, preventing these pockets from forming and causing them to break apart more quickly. Simethicone allows for gas to be processed and eliminated in a more efficient manner.

As simethicone eliminates existing gas bubbles more quickly, it is sometimes used as an antifoaming agent in gastrointestinal and colonoscopy procedures

Gas-X (simethicone) is physiologically inert and is not systemically absorbed.
