Can Simeticon max 240mg be used in a child aged 7 years? The doctor recommended the child Espumisan for flatulence, and in the pharmacy I got a replacement - Simeticon.

According to the manufacturer's information, Simeticon max is intended for people over 12 years of age. However, the doses of simethicone (active substance) that can be used in children aged 6-14 years are 80mg 3-4 times a day, i.e. 240mg-320mg per day. The use of the preparation depends on what dosage has been determined by the doctor. Simeticone is a surfactant that reduces the tension of gas bubbles in food masses and mucus of the gastrointestinal tract. It is not absorbed into the bloodstream, it is excreted unchanged, no side effects have been reported during its use.
