Friska Frigas Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent that works by breaking up gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines. It relieves symptoms caused by excess gas such as bloating, abdominal discomfort, and colic in infants. Friska Frigas is an effective oral drop formulation designed to relieve gas, bloating, and discomfort caused by excess intestinal gas. Suitable for both adults and children, these drops provide fast and gentle relief for digestive discomfort.

Friska Frigas Oral Drops are gentle, safe, and widely used in pediatrics.
