Antiflatulent

An Antiflatulent is a medication or substance that prevents or relieves flatulence (excessive gas in the digestive system). These agents work by various mechanisms, including breaking down gas bubbles, preventing gas formation, or promoting the expulsion of gas. They are commonly used to treat symptoms like bloating, abdominal distension, and discomfort caused by trapped gas. Antiflatulents are often available over-the-counter and are generally considered safe, though effectiveness can vary between individuals and the underlying cause of gas.
