Simethicone

Please note, this monograph also includes the pediatric ADE. Simethicone is primarily used as a pharmaceutical to reduce gas in the gastrointestinal tract (1, 2 ,3). It is also used in breast implants, injected into tissues for cosmetic purposes, used in cosmetics, and used as a diagnostic ultrasound-imaging agent. Note - The acceptable daily exposure (ADE) established for simethicone in this monograph is not applicable for the intravenous (IV) route. Simethicone may cause pulmonary microvascular occlusion and simulate a clinical acute respiratory distress syndrome when administered by the IV route.
