DicoSim Plus
Simethicone and sucresters based product.
In the treatment of symptoms associated with gastrointestinal tract disorders, flatulence, bloating, aerophagia, abdominal bloating.
Indications
The ingestion of proteins (for example, milk proteins) through feeding, swallowing air by eating too quickly or ingesting foods that cause flatulence, increase the air in the gastrointestinal tract, causing foam production. DicoSim Plus is a medical device indicated in prevention or treatment of symptoms associated of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, such as intestinal colics, abdominal cramps, flatulence, bloating, aerophagia, abdominal bloating, dyspepsia, and disorders due to an increase in gastric emptying time.
How it works
The two functional substances contained in DicoSim Plus act synergistically to counteract the symptoms associated to gastrointestinal gas overproduction, reducing consequently bloating and discomfort associated to dyspeptic disorders. Simethicone acts as anti-foaming agent, breaking the gas bubbles formed on the surface of the gastrointestinal fluids, and absorbing the gas. Sucresters act specifically on the reduction of proteic foam present in the gastrointestinal tract, but also, they are able to reduce the formation of these foams if the product is taken directly with the milk.
