I've been dealing with excessive gas and bloating for a while now, and my doctor recommended Simethicone 180mg capsules. I've tried them for a few weeks and noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms. The capsules work by breaking up gas bubbles, which makes them easier to pass. However, I've also been cautious about the potential side effects, especially the rare but severe allergic reactions. I've made sure to report any unusual symptoms immediately. I'm curious to hear from others who have used this medication and their experiences with it. Is anyone else combined this with a probiotic as well?

If you try a lower dosage, make sure to consult your doctor first. These drugs are supposed to be safe, but if you're experiencing no relief, then it might be something else.

I took it for gas but it didn't work. My doctor said I shouldn't take it if it doesn't do anything. I'm taking another one now. I wonder if it makes sense to try it at a lower dosage since it didn't work at 180mg.

I've been taking these for a while too and they've helped a ton. No side effects so far, knock on wood.

I had a bad reaction to it. I broke out in hives and my throat started to close up. I had to go to the ER. Scary stuff. I’ve been avoiding it since then. Just a word of caution to everyone, be careful.

Yeah, I've been using it as well and tried adding a probiotic. Within 2 weeks I could see and feel the difference. Before taking it, I felt like I was constantly bloating. My experience is that it works faster than other gas relievers.
