The drug DIGESGAS PLUS contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Metoclopramide
UNII W1792A2RVD - METOCLOPRAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE
|
|
The action of metoclopramide is closely associated with parasympathetic nervous control of the upper gastro-intestinal tract where it has the effect of encouraging normal peristaltic action. This provides for a fundamental approach to the control of those conditions where disturbed gastrointestinal motility is a common underlying factor. |
|
2
Simethicone
UNII 92RU3N3Y1O - DIMETHICONE
|
|
Simethicone is a chemically inert, non-systemic gastric defoaming agent that works by altering the elasticity of interfaces of mucus-embedded bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract. The gas bubbles are thus broken down or coalesced and in this form gas is more easily eliminated through eructation or passing flatus. |
