Best OTC Choices in Antiflatulence Products
You can reduce flatulence through taking non-prescription products that bring together the small gas bubbles in your gut to form bigger bubbles — which allows trapped air to pass through your body more easily. These medications come as tablets, capsules, drops and liquids.
Here are Money’s picks for the best anti-flatulence products, along with information on their active ingredients and general notes about efficacy and side effects.
These products were selected by drugs.com, using a methodology that combines expert assessment with analysis of online reviews, ratings and other customer data.
