Therapeutic indications.

Espumisan treats the symptoms of flatulence (excessive accumulation of gas) and is indicated for all age groups. It works by disintegrating gas bubbles in the food bolus and in the mucus in the digestive tract. The gases released during this process can be absorbed (taken up) through the intestinal wall or eliminated through bowel movements.

Espumisan is used:

- to treat gastrointestinal symptoms with gas accumulation (meteorism), flatulence or excessive gas formation in the intestine after surgery;

- to prepare for diagnostic examination of the abdomen (for example, in radiography and sonography, endoscopic examination; as an adjuvant to suspensions with contrast agents).

- As a foam dispersing agent after poisoning with detergents (surfactants).
