Table of contents:

Phazyme is an over-the-counter medication used to relieve symptoms of excess gas in the stomach and intestines, such as bloating and discomfort. Phazyme's contains an active ingredient called simethicone, which is an anti-gas medication.

Simethicone works by breaking up gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, making them easier to pass. This can help to relieve symptoms of gas such as bloating, pressure, and discomfort in the stomach or intestine.

Uses and Dosage

Phazyme is available in the form of gel capsules that should be taken by mouth, typically as needed after meals and at bedtime. It should be chewed fully before swallowing. Do not swallow chewable tablets whole. This can prevent them from working as well.

The appropriate dosage is determined by your age, medical condition, and response to treatment. Do not exceed the recommended dose or take this product more frequently than directed. However, the usual recommended dosage of Phazyme gel capsules is based on your age, medical condition, and response to treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I take simethicone if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes, simethicone is safe to take if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It stays in the intestines and works locally to help gas pass more easily. Since it is not absorbed into the bloodstream, it should not affect your baby.

When is the best time to take Phazyme?

Phazyme works best if you take it after meals and at bedtime. You must chew the chewable tablet before you swallow it

How long does it take for Phazyme to start working?

They take about 45 minutes (for me) to kick in and seem to work for a long time. There is no aftertaste which is always a plus for me. I will definitely purchase again. Better than other anti-is gas products.
