Treatment of functional disorders related to excessive gas accumulation (gastric distention, flatulence, flatulence) in children 12 years of age and older and in adults.
Composition:
1 tabl for chewing and chewing contains 42 mg of simethicone. The product contains sucrose.
Action:
Symeticon changes the surface tension of gas bubbles accumulating in the stomach and intestines, thus preventing foaming. It is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is not metabolised. It is excreted with faeces.
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to simethicone or any of the excipients.
Precautions:
Do not use if you suspect perforation or bowel obstruction. Do not use in children under 12 years of age (insufficient data on safety). Due to the sucrose content, do not use in patients with rare inherited disorders associated with fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption or sucrase-isomaltase deficiency.
Pregnancy and lactation:
Simethicone is not absorbed from the digestive tract, the potential risk to humans is very low. However, due to lack of experience, the drug should not be used during pregnancy unless clinically justified. It can only be used during lactation if the benefit-risk balance is favorable.
Side effects:
Uncommon: diarrhea, abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, nausea, vomiting. Rare: hypersensitivity reactions (eruptions, pruritus, swelling of the face and tongue, and difficulty in breathing).
Dosage:
Orally. Children aged 12 and above: 1-2 tabl. 3-4 times a day after eating. Adults: 2 tabl. 4 times a day, after eating. The treatment time should not exceed 10 days. No special precautions are necessary in the elderly or in the case of renal or hepatic impairment. The tablets should be chewed, do not swallow them whole.
