GAS-X CHEWABLE

Uses of Gas-X Chewable

Gas-X is primarily used to alleviate symptoms of gas, including bloating, pressure, and discomfort. It is commonly recommended for those who experience gas due to certain foods, air swallowing, or gastrointestinal issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The product works quickly to break down trapped gas and provide relief. In addition, it can be used after certain medical procedures that may cause gas accumulation, such as colonoscopy or gastrointestinal surgery.

Gas-X Chewable Ingredients

The main active ingredient in Gas-X Chewable is simethicone. Each tablet contains 125 mg of simethicone, which is a commonly used anti-foaming agent that helps reduce gas buildup in the digestive tract.

How does Gas-X Chewable work

Simethicone, the active ingredient in Gas-X Chewable, works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles trapped in the stomach and intestines. These bubbles often form as a result of digestion or swallowing air, which leads to uncomfortable symptoms. Simethicone causes these gas bubbles to merge and break down into smaller, less problematic bubbles that can be easily passed through the digestive tract. It does not absorb into the bloodstream, making it a safe and localized treatment for gas.
