Deflat 120 mg chewable tablets contain the active ingredient Simethicone, a substance used to help relieve gas, bloating, and the feeling of fullness caused by the accumulation of gas within the stomach and intestines. Simethicone works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles, causing them to coalesce into larger bubbles that are more easily eliminated naturally. This helps relieve discomfort and abdominal pain associated with gas.
