Simethicone Emulsion 30ml can be taken early in the morning on the day of the colonoscopy.
The active ingredient of simethicone is polydimethylsiloxane, which is a stable surface-active substance that can dissolve the gas bubbles on the surface of the mucous membrane in the intestine, and the released gas will be absorbed by the intestine, thus making the surface of the intestine clearer, which will help the physician to observe the mucous membrane of the intestine in the colonoscopy.
As a de-bubbling agent, simethicone works with physical properties and will not be absorbed by the intestines, and will be excreted through the intestines as a prototype.
Currently, some medical institutions do not require patients to take simethicone before colonoscopy. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with the relevant physician and endoscopy laboratory staff for details on the timing and dosage of the product and take it according to the doctor’s instructions.
