This product is used to relieve symptoms of extra gas such as belching, bloating, and feelings of pressure/discomfort in the stomach/gut.

How does Phazyme® work? Simethicone, the active ingredient found in Phazyme®, decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles and causes them to combine into larger bubbles in the digestive tract. The trapped gas is now allowed to pass more easily through the digestive tract and exit through the rectum.

Going to work in minutes, Phazyme Ultimate helps relieve the discomfort, bloating and pressure associated with gas, by working to break up gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines.

If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse. Do not take the maximum dose of the medication for more than 2 weeks unless directed by your doctor.

Inhale through your nose for four seconds, hold your breath for two seconds, then exhale for six seconds. Your abdomen should expand when you breathe in. Try to make the hand on your abdomen rise while the hand on your chest remains still. Keep doing this for five to 15 minutes, or until you begin to feel relief.
