GASTROZYME EFFERVESCENT TABS 20S (SIMETHICONE)

Overview & Mechanism of Action

• Gastrozyme Effervescent Tablets (20s) offer a fast-dissolving, highly bioavailable oral solution designed to tackle acute gastrointestinal gas and post-meal discomfort. Its action combines immediate effervescent dispersion with targeted defoaming activity:
• Anti-Foaming Gas Breakdown (Simethicone): Acts directly in the stomach and intestinal lumen by altering the surface tension of trapped mucus-covered gas bubbles. This causes small gas bubbles to coalesce into larger, free bubbles that are easily eliminated through belching or flatus.
• Rapid Effervescent Delivery: Dissolving the tablet in water creates an active, buffered liquid suspension that reaches irritated mucosal walls almost instantly, providing faster relief than standard oral swallow tablets or softgels.
• Digestive Relief: Relieves intra-abdominal pressure, eases painful gastric distension, and calms indigestion associated with heavy, high-fat, or gas-producing meals.

Clinical Indications

• Gastrozyme Effervescent Tablets 20s is indicated for:
• Rapid relief of painful abdominal bloating, sensation of fullness, and gas pressure
• Symptomatic management of excessive flatulence and trapped wind in the upper and lower GI tract
• Relief of functional dyspepsia, non-ulcer stomach upset, and post-prandial indigestion
• Reducing bowel gas interference prior to abdominal diagnostic imaging or endoscopic procedures

Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions

• Administration: Fully dissolve 1 to 2 effervescent tablets in a glass of water (approx. 150–200 ml). Drink immediately after effervescence ceases. Best taken after meals or at bedtime as needed.
