How it works
Gaspunch Tablet is a combination of two drugs named activated charcoal and simethicone. The extra spaces in the charcoal trap gas molecules reducing the gas that causes bloating. Simethicone works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). It also restricts the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.
