Meteospasmyl is prescribed for the symptomatic treatment of functional intestinal disorders, especially those manifested by flatulence.
Composition
active ingredients: 1 capsule contains alverine citrate 60 mg, simethicone 300 mg; excipients: gelatin, glycerin, titanium dioxide (E 171).
Alverina is a myotropic antispasmodic. Simethicone is a physiologically inert substance that has no pharmacological activity. It disrupts the surface tension of air bubbles, which contributes to their coalescence.
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to alverine or any other component of the drug. Intestinal obstruction, including paralytic; obstructive diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
Application features
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
pregnancy
Simethicone: Due to the very low systemic exposure to simethicone, no adverse effects are expected when used during pregnancy.
Alverine: There are no comprehensive data on teratogenicity in animals. To date, no clinical effects such as malformations or fetotoxic effects have been reported. However, observations of alverine exposure during pregnancy are insufficient to exclude any risk.
Therefore, it is not recommended to use Meteospasmyl during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding
Due to the very low systemic exposure to simethicone, no negative effects are expected when used during breastfeeding.
There are no data on the excretion of alverine into breast milk.
Therefore, it is not recommended to use Meteospasmyl during breastfeeding.
Children
The drug is used in pediatric practice.
