Simethicone Dosage

Is there any interaction between papaya papain with simethicone? ## Hello, Belle! How are you? I'm sorry, but supplements are not evaluated for possible interactions with medications. Have you tried checking with your pharmacist? They may know more. But since Papaya is really just fruit, I'd think there shouldn't be any problem. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Simethicone directions say limit to 2-4 per 24 hours which is dependent on strength per dosage. Why have this limit if it is totally safe?

I need dosage information on trimebutina/simeticona for IBS ## Yes, Trimebutine with Simethicone is commonly used to treat IBS to prevent bowel spasms and flatulence. I am, however, unsure of the dosage, because it will vary on the severity of the condition being treated and the dosage in the medication. What has your doctor recommended?

What are the indications, contraindications, dosages and side effects of Gelusil? ## From the information I am finding, Gelusil is used to treat heartburn and gas. It contains: 200 mgs of Aluminum Hydroxide, 200mgs of Magnesium Hydroxide and 25mgs of Simethicone. The product packaging says to chew 2 to 4 tablets hourly as symptoms persist or as directed by a physician. Do you have any other questions? ## The expiration date on the packaging of my gelusil chewable tablets just got torn away from the strip, but the manufacturing date is July 2016. Does anyone know when they expire?

What kind of pill is that. I just received it and not sure what to do with it ## Hi James, I haven't located an exact match to your pill yet, but did come close enough to offer a suggestion as to what it may be or who might make it... Pills marked with PZ (followed by a set of numbers) are commonly identified as Simethicone in varying dosages. Simethicone is used to alleviate bloating, gas, & stomach discomfort. One of the companies who manufacturers these is called GlaxoSmithKline. If you'd like to double check with this manufacturer about your pill and whether or not it's something they might produce, GlaxoSmithKline's U.S. headquarters can be reached at: +1 888-825-5249 Does anyone else here recognize this pill?

It is round and white with RP at the top and on the bottom part 111 and on the back just a line going across and it's big and thick. I was told it was a generic over counter pain relief pill made by the company "Dr choice". ## I located a round pink tablet with RP on the top and 111 on the bottom of one side & just a score line on the back of the pill. The issue is that my finding is pink and your description is white. Name: Gas Relief RS (simethicone) Dosage: 80mg Imprint: RP 111 Shape: Round Color: Pink Labeler: CVS Pharmacy, Inc. My only guess is that by "pain relief", it meant "pain caused by excess gas", but if in doubt I would still encourage you to bring this pill you have into your local pharmacy for a second opinion. Hope this helps!
