Espumisan -Endo Emulsion

Introduction

Espumisan -Endo Emulsion is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Simethicone. It is available in the form of an emulsion and is commonly used to relieve symptoms associated with excess gas in the digestive tract.

Uses

Espumisan -Endo Emulsion is primarily prescribed to alleviate discomfort caused by excessive gas in the stomach and intestines. It helps to break down the gas bubbles, making it easier for them to be passed out of the body. This medication is commonly used to provide relief from symptoms such as bloating, belching, and flatulence.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Espumisan -Endo Emulsion may vary depending on the individual and the severity of the symptoms. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Typically, this medication is taken orally after meals and at bedtime. Shake the bottle well before use and use the provided measuring cup to ensure accurate dosing.

Mechanism of Action

Espumisan -Endo Emulsion contains Simethicone, which works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines. This allows the gas bubbles to combine into larger bubbles, making it easier for them to be expelled from the body through belching or passing gas. It does not get absorbed into the bloodstream and is eliminated from the body through normal bowel movements.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include mild gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional.

In rare cases, serious allergic reactions to Simethicone may occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
