Antiflat - Chewable Tablets

Disturbed digestive processes, faulty nutrition, flatulent foods as well as swallowing air often lead to flatulence.

Application

1. What is Antiflat and what is it used for?

Disordered digestion, poor diet, flatulent foods and swallowing air often lead to flatulence. This makes the normal absorption of the gas through the intestinal wall more difficult or even completely impossible. The gas accumulations are then present in the gastrointestinal tract as a sluggish, small-bubble foam.Simeticon, the active ingredient in Antiflat, causes the foam to break down. This allows the intestinal gases to leave naturally. The active ingredient itself is not absorbed into the bloodstream, but is excreted unchanged.
The use of Antiflat usually leads to a rapid relief of symptoms with a feeling of relief and eliminates the feeling of tension in the bloated abdomen. Heart constriction caused by displacement of the diaphragm (Roemheld syndrome) also subsides after a short time.

Antiflat is used in adults, adolescents and children over 2 years of age.
In cases of excessive gas formation and gas accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract (meteorism) with complaints such as flatulence, a feeling of fullness and a feeling of tension in the upper abdomen, caused, for example, by swallowing air or by a cold.
In the case of increased gas formation after operations and Roemheld syndrome.
In preparation for diagnostic examinations in the abdominal region to reduce gas shadows (ultrasound examinations, X-rays).
