Harm score: 3 (Harmless chemicals)
Simethicone, also known as Mylicon, is a chemical compound that can be found in a number of pharmaceutical and medical products. It is a mixture of dimethicone and silicon that has the ability to reduce flatulence by reducing the tension of surface bubbles in the stomach and intestines. Because of this property, simethicone is often used in preparations for bloating and other digestive problems. In medicine, it is then used especially in endoscopic examinations to reduce flatulence in patients.
Products containing simethicone can be found in various forms, from tablets and drops to chewing gum. One of the most common products is Mylicon, which is very popular in the USA with parents of young children suffering from colic. Simethicone is also part of many antacids that are used to neutralize stomach acids and relieve heartburn. In addition, it may also appear in some skin care products. Regardless of the form and purpose of the product, simethicone has a place in our lives due to its proven ability to reduce flatulence and discomfort associated with digestion.
