Why Choose Momentive’s BC Simethicone for Gas Relief?

Safe and Gentle for Various Needs: Simethicone is inert and non-systemic, meaning it acts locally in the digestive tract and is not absorbed into the bloodstream. This makes it a safe option for a broad range of patients, including those with pre-existing health conditions due to its low side effect profile.

Persistent Relief, Long Shelf Life: chemically stable, BC Simethicone maintains its effectiveness throughout the product's shelf life, ensuring persistent gas relief for patients.

Pediatric and Veterinary Applications: our Simethicone is available in various formulations like drops, ideal for safe and effective relief of gas and colic in infants and young children. Additionally, it offers a solution for managing gas and bloating in pets and livestock, promoting their comfort and well-being.
