	Simethicone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Simethicone, is an oral antifoaming agent used to reduce bloating, discomfort and pain caused by excess gas in the stomach or intestinal tract.
		Chemically, simethicone is a mixture of polydimethylsiloxanes that works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles, causing them to coalesce into larger bubbles that can be passed more easily by belching or flatulence.
		Simethicone is not absorbed by the body into the bloodstream, and is therefore considered relatively safe with sources reporting the worst side effects as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas and heartburn.

	DG3: DBA case T 0002/83 - 3.3.1
		Although simethicone may be readily released when adsorbed on a lactose filler material, its release turned out to be retarded or prevented when the material is contiguous to the antacid component.
		Nevertheless it was soon recognised that when simethicone is in intimate contact with an antacid component, its release is delayed or to some extent prevented in consequence of a strong absorption by the antacid bases.
		Although one obvious solution of the problem would have been to separate the liquid simethicone component from the solid antacid with a barrier, as it is done in the known gastro-intestinal formulations according to prior document (1), the trend in the art was to avoid barriers, which are cumbersome to manufacture.

		Further research with chewable tablets containing a combination of loperamide and simethicone led to the discovery that the simethicone in those tablets apparently "surrounded" the loperamide over time, decreasing its bioavailability, and thereby reducing the tablets' shelf-life.
		McNeil argues that the court's finding that simethicone was a known antiflatulent is clearly erroneous, because simethicone was known to be an "antigas" agent only because it stimulates burping and belching, and thereby helps relieve stomach, i.e., gastric, gas.
		The court also found that the article cited by McNeil as demonstrating that simethicone did not reduce intestinal gas was based on the results of a study involving only nine participants and thus did not rise to the level of statistical significance.
