Simethicone comprises a combination of linear siloxane polymers that are fully methylated and consist of repeating units represented by the formula [–(CH3)2SiO–]n. The polymer is further stabilized using trimethylsiloxy end-blocking units denoted by the formula [(CH3)3SiO–], along with silicon dioxide.
