Meteospasmyl, box of 20 soft capsules

Why choose Meteospasmyl for digestive pain?

Muscle spasms in the intestines, combined with gas buildup, cause uncomfortable tension, heartburn, and painful abdominal cramps. Meteospasmyl offers a unique dual-action solution:

1. Musculotropic antispasmodic action (Alverine citrate):

• Alverine citrate (60 mg) directly relaxes the smooth muscle fibers of the digestive tract. It effectively relieves abdominal spasmodic pain, stomach cramps, and colitis flare-ups without affecting natural bowel movements.

2. Antiflatulent and anti-foaming action (simethicone):

• Simethicone (300 mg) acts as a protective anti-foaming agent. It alters the surface tension of gas bubbles trapped in the intestine, causing them to coalesce and facilitating their natural absorption to relieve bloating.

Indications and Benefits of Treatment

This over-the-counter digestive medication is recommended for adults to:

• Treating digestive pain accompanied by flatulence and a bloated stomach.
• Reducing abdominal spasms and postprandial intestinal discomfort.
• Promoting digestive comfort by reducing the accumulation of intestinal gas.
