How does this medication work?
This medication treats smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract which occurs due to irritable bowel syndrome. It blocks the acetylcholine receptors present on the smooth muscles thereby causing the muscles to relax. Also, it controls excessive secretion from the not only stomach but also bronchial, tracheal and pharyngeal muscles. Simethicone is an antifoaming and antiflatulent agent which decreases gas in the GI tract by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles thus allowing them to coalesce and be expelled.
