Introduction
Siloil is a medication that contains the active ingredient, Dimethicone. It is available in the form of an injectable solution.
Uses
Siloil is primarily used for the treatment of excessive gas or bloating in the digestive system. It is often prescribed to relieve symptoms such as discomfort, pain, or a feeling of fullness caused by the presence of excess gas in the stomach or intestines.
Dosage and Administration

Mechanism of Action
Dimethicone, the active ingredient in Siloil, works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles, allowing them to combine and be expelled more easily from the body. It acts as an antifoaming agent, helping to break down and prevent the formation of excessive gas in the digestive system.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include mild diarrhea, stomach discomfort, or nausea. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, seek immediate medical attention.
