Dyspepsia, wrong diet, food generating gases and air swallowing cause the generation and accumulation of gas. Excess gas accumulates in the digestive tract as small inactive gas bubbles. Therefore gas absorption through intestinal mucosa is impaired or even completely inhibited. Simeticone is the active substance contained in the Antiflat chewable tablets that causes the gas bubbles to dissolve and then the released gas can be passed in the usual way. After administration of Antiflat chewable tablets the symptoms are usually rapidly reduced and the pressure in gastrointestinal tract reduces.
