This article still needs one of those fancy tables with a picture of the chemical and etc. found on other pages like advil Granite T. Rock 06:20, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think this is possible. See the PDMS article. It says: Activated dimethicone, a mixture of polydimethylsiloxanes and silicon dioxide (sometimes called simethicone), is used in over-the-counter drug as an anti-foaming agent and carminative. Since it's a mixture (including polymeres, which have variable molecular formulas and thus variable molecular weight) molecular weight, formula etc do not apply.

I've deleted all references to Ibuprofin so we can fill it in with the proper info before pasting it to the main article. I've been able to find some info, but not all. Hopefully, it'll be filled in before long. Micahbrwn 07:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Simethicone is also sold (in the UK at least) under the name Infacol, used to treat colic in newborns... So I guess the article needs editing in both sections for baby dosages? not really sure best to write it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.35.163.246 (talk) 16:44, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
