Flatidyl Simethicone 40 Mg

Flatidyl Simethicone 40 Mg

Description:

Flatidyl Simethicone 40 mg is an oral antiflatulent medicine used to relieve gas-related discomfort in the stomach and intestines. Each chewable tablet contains simethicone, an anti-foaming agent that helps break up gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, making it easier to eliminate gas through belching or passing flatus. It is commonly used to treat symptoms such as bloating, abdominal distension, and pressure due to excess gas, and may also be used before certain diagnostic procedures like gastroscopy or bowel radiography to reduce gas shadows and improve imaging quality.

Indications:

• Relief of abdominal pain, discomfort, or cramps caused by excessive gas in the digestive tract.
• Treatment of bloating, fullness, and abdominal distension due to trapped gas.
• Adjunct before diagnostic procedures such as gastroscopy or radiography of the bowel to reduce gas bubbles and improve visualization.
• Supportive relief of flatulence and gas-related discomfort after meals or in conditions associated with increased gas formation.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Simethicone – 40 mg per chewable tablet.
• Other excipients (chewable tablet base, flavors, sweeteners, and stabilizers) are present but specific ingredient details are not available For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.
