Gas Relief Pills
Reduce bloating and stomach pressure with gas-relief pills from CVS Pharmacy. These digestive aids, probiotics and medications can support digestion and help you maintain a more comfortable stomach while allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods.
What Do Gas-Relief Pills Do?
Just as there are many possible causes of excess gas, several kinds of medications can help reduce gas production. Some of these include:
Simethicone
Alpha-galactosidase
Lactase
Simethicone is featured in products such as CVS Health Anti-Diarrheal & Anti-Gas. This ingredient may help make gas easier to pass, preventing you from feeling bloated. Products including Beano Extra Strength contain digestive enzymes, such as alpha-galactosidase. These enzymes help your body more effectively break down carbohydrates found in vegetables and grains, which can stop gut bacteria from fermenting them and producing gas.
Lactose intolerance pills containing lactase help break down lactose in dairy. While these products aren't likely to benefit you if you don't have lactose intolerance, they can help prevent flatulence and bloating for those with the condition, and they usually have few or no side effects when taken as directed.
Herbal products, such as Well Told Health's Bloating Be Gone, are another option to take with meals to prevent stomach discomfort. These vegan gas-relief pills contain ginger root and other plant-based ingredients believed to aid digestion.
Do Gas-Relief Pills Provide Instant Relief?
Some gas-relief pills, such as Gas-X, can work quickly, which is usually the case with most products containing simethicone. These medications are typically best taken occasionally and can work well to treat sudden bloating after a large meal.
If you experience frequent bloating, consider taking a preventative supplement, such as Heather's Tummy Tamers Peppermint Oil, before meals to help your digestive system break down food more easily. Lactaid may help if you have lactose intolerance, and probiotics may work well if your bloating is due to a disrupted microbiome after illness or a course of antibiotics.
When to Take Gas-Relief Pills
Gas-relief pills for bloating may work best at symptom onset. Digestive enzymes are usually taken with meals, and probiotics may work well when taken regularly. Check the package instructions to determine when to dose the specific product and how frequently you can take it throughout the day.
