medication that prevents the formation of gas in the alimentary tract or eases its passing
relieving gas in the alimentary tract (colic or flatulence or griping) 同义词:flatus-relieving,
A carminative, also known as carminativum (plural carminativa), is an herb or preparation that either prevents formation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract or facilitates the expulsion of said gas, thereby combatting flatulence. Carminatives have been shown to decrease lower esophageal pressure, which on the other hand increases the risk of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) or 'heartburn'.
