SAB SIMPLEX sus 30ml

Description: SAB SIMPLEX sus 30ml

An oral suspension is an antifoaming medication that ensures the breakdown of foam, which prevents the absorption of gases in the stomach and intestines. This allows the gases to leave naturally or to be absorbed through the intestinal wall. The drug breaks down the bubbles in the foamy mucus of the intestinal wall, but is not absorbed and passes unchanged through the intestine out of the body.

Used :

With increased gas production and its accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract (flatulence) with gastrointestinal discomforts such as bloating, a feeling of fullness and tension in the epigastrium.
With increased gas formation after surgery.
As a preparation for diagnostic examination in the abdomen to reduce the imaging of shadows caused by gas (X-ray, sonography) and as a preparation for gastroduodenoscopy.
Detergent poisoning (dishwashing detergents, etc.)
