It contains Pancreatin (digestive enzyme), Simethicone and Activated Charcoal (antiflatulent). Pancreatin works by breaking down or digesting proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Simethicone decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through burping. Activated Charcoal helps to reduce the volume of intestinal gas and produces relief.
