| description | Introduction The most common problems encountered by human beings are bloating and discomfort due to accumulation of gas in the stomach. The study aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of simethicone sublingual drug on salivary amylase and flow rate before and after ingestion. Materials and Methods: A total of 12 healthy subjects between 20 and 30 years of age with frequent bloating problems and discomfort in the stomach for more than a year were recruited and the subjects with xerostomia, hormonal imbalance, pediatric patients, psychological disturbances, and taking medicines for any other systemic illness like diabetes, blood pressure, spinal cord injury, and autoimmune disorders were excluded from this study. The subjects were ingested one after the breakfast. The salivary samples were collected before the drug was administered and after 1 and 2 hours of postingestion. The salivary amylase level was calculated using biochemical test kit and the salivary flow rate was calculated by physiologic drooling method. Comparison of salivary amylase was done using repeated chi-square test. Results: The cross tabulation showed statistically significant change in salivary amylase level and salivary flow rate before and after ingestion of simethicone after ingestion. Conclusion: There is a significant increase in level of salivary amylase and salivary flow rate after ingestion of simethicone, hence it can be used in completely edentulous xerostomia patients to control bloating and stomach discomfort. |
