Novartis Gas-X Extra Strength Antigas - 10 Softgels

How Simethicone Provides Relief

If you're one of the many Australians who experience uncomfortable wind and bloating, Gas-X Extra Strength Antigas Softgels offer a fast-acting solution. Each softgel contains 125 mg of simethicone, a anti-foaming agent that works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles in your stomach and intestines. This allows small bubbles to combine into larger ones that can be more easily expelled—either by burping or passing wind. Because simethicone is not absorbed into the bloodstream, it acts locally in the digestive tract without interfering with digestion or nutrient absorption.

Why Choose Gas-X Extra Strength?

• Speedy relief: The liquid-filled softgel formula begins working in minutes, so you can get back to feeling comfortable quickly.
• No unpleasant aftertaste: Unlike some chewable tablets, the medicine is sealed inside the softgel, avoiding any bitter or chalky flavour.
• Easy to swallow: The smooth, compact softgel can be taken with or without water—ideal for on-the-go use.
• Extra strength in one capsule: With 125 mg of simethicone per dose, you get powerful relief from just one softgel.
• Travel-friendly pack: The 10-count blister pack slips easily into a handbag or pocket, so you're always prepared.

Dosage and Directions for Use

For best results, take one softgel after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Swallow the softgel whole with a glass of water—do not crush or chew. The maximum daily dose is 500 mg (four softgels) unless otherwise advised by a doctor. If symptoms persist for more than two days, consult your GP. Gas-X Extra Strength is suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age. Keep out of reach of children.
