Ingredients

In every dose of Gas-X, you’ll find the fast-acting power of simethicone, the ingredient doctors recommend most to reduce gas and bloating symptoms.

Gas-X vs. Antacids

Traditional antacids only relieve symptoms of heartburn — and don’t treat gas pain. Our new Total Relief Chews work double duty to provide heartburn and gas pain relief in one great-tasting tablet.
