Simethicone

About Simethicone
Oral anti-foaming agent, Silicones, Antiflatulent.
Mechanism of Action of Simethicone
This anti-gas (anti-flatulence) medication acts in the stomach and intestines to change the surface tension of gas bubbles, enabling smaller bubbles to join together into bigger bubbles. It results elimination of gas more easily by belching or passing flatus.

Sodium Alginate

About Sodium Alginate
A hydrophilic colloidal polysaccharide, Added to an antacid as protective agent.
Mechanism of Action of Sodium Alginate
Sodium alginate is the sodium salt of alginic acid.Alginic acid powder swells when wetted with water. This may prevent reflux of acid into the esophagus by keeping the gastric contents in place and reduce the likelihood of reflux irritating the lining of the esophagus. The sodium calcium alginate fibres in haemostatic wound dressings absorbed by body fluids, as the calcium in the fiber is exchanged for sodium from the body fluids mixed salts of sodium and calcium alginate, and processed into non-woven fabric that is used in wound dressings. It binds with heavy metals and radioactive substances to its own molecules. It cannot be broken down by bile or saliva to be absorbed and secreted from the body together with heavy metals and radioactive substances.
Pharmacokinets of Sodium Alginate
When ingested, Sodium alginate releases alginic acid and almost all of the alginic acid remains undigested and is excreted either unchanged or as an alginate.
