Antiflatulents, also designated as antigas agents, are a therapeutic class of over-the-counter medications formulated to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms caused by excessive gas, including bloating, fullness, pressure, and abdominal distension.
The primary active agent recognized in this class is simethicone, a surface-active silicone polymer that decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles within the gastrointestinal tract, allowing them to coalesce into larger bubbles that are more easily eliminated through belching or flatus.
These non-systemic agents are indicated for functional gas disorders, indigestion, and gas-related discomfort often accompanying dyspepsia or irritable bowel symptoms, and they are frequently utilized as procedural adjuncts during endoscopies to disperse intraluminal foam and enhance mucosal visualization.
