How does it work?

Simethicone is an 'anti-foaming agent' which reduces the amount of trapped wind in the gut. It works by allowing the gas to be released as larger bubbles rather than multiple small bubbles, which are trapped among the stomach contents. This medication helps to relieve colic pain and bloating caused by trapped wind that is common in both breast and bottle fed babies under six months of age.
