Abstract

The flatulence is a gastrointestinal tract disorder consisting of gas accumulation. It manifests as discomfort in the abdominal cavity and so called “gas-drop” which significantly reduces the quality of life, and in addition is not socially acceptable. This article presents actual knowledge on drugs, which can cause clinically significant flatulence, and also analyzes the influence of incretin drugs – a new group of antidiabetic drugs – on the function of the gastrointestinal tract. Based on the presented data it seems that in most cases the flatulence is not a clinical problem but rather a problem which negatively affect the life.
