Which of the following medications is an antiflatulent?

Celexa
Lortab
Mylicon
Risperdal

The correct answer is: Mylicon

Mylicon is classified as an antiflatulent, a type of medication specifically designed to relieve bloating and discomfort caused by excess gas in the gastrointestinal tract. It works by breaking up gas bubbles in the gut, making it easier for the body to expel them. This makes it particularly useful for individuals who experience gas-related issues. Celexa is an antidepressant, Lortab is a pain reliever that combines acetaminophen and hydrocodone, and Risperdal is an antipsychotic used to treat mental health disorders. These medications serve entirely different functions and do not address the symptoms of gas, highlighting why Mylicon stands out as the correct choice for treating flatulence.
