Currently, the pharmaceutical industry provides a variety of drugs for various diseases that have a wide range of indications. One such remedy is espumizan, which is used to treat diseases of the intestinal tract and flatulence. This drug is worth knowing to all people, regardless of age.

There are different forms of release of the drug: these are oral emulsions, syrups and capsules. They all have one active ingredient, which is called simethicone.
