Meftal-Spas Suspension – Relief for Children’s Stomach Pain and IBS Symptoms

Overview:
Meftal-Spas Suspension is commonly used to manage stomach discomfort, bloating, and abdominal cramps in children. It is helpful in conditions associated with excessive gas, acidity, gastrointestinal infections, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The medicine works by relaxing the muscles of the intestines and reducing trapped gas.

Administration:

Give the dose orally as prescribed by your child’s doctor, preferably before meals unless advised otherwise.

The duration of treatment may vary from a few days to several days. Do not continue the medicine for more than two weeks without consulting your doctor.

Avoid stopping the medicine abruptly to prevent recurrence or worsening of symptoms.

Common Side Effects:
Some children may experience mild, temporary effects such as:

Nausea and vomiting

Constipation

Burping

Blurred vision

Drowsiness

Loss of appetite

Nervousness

These effects usually resolve as the child’s body adapts. Contact the doctor if they persist or worsen.

Precautions:

Inform the doctor about all medications your child is taking.

Share your child’s medical history, including any allergies, food intolerances, liver or kidney problems, birth defects, or intestinal obstructions. This helps ensure safe dosing and effective treatment.

Uses:

Relief from abdominal pain

Management of irritable bowel syndrome

Benefits:
Meftal-Spas Suspension effectively eases cramps, bloating, and abdominal discomfort in children. It is often used alongside other prescribed medications for IBS or gastrointestinal issues to provide comprehensive symptom management.

How It Works:
The suspension contains two active ingredients:

Dicyclomine: Relaxes the muscles of the stomach and intestines, reducing sudden spasms and cramps.

Simethicone: Helps break down gas bubbles, making it easier for the body to expel trapped gas.

How to Use:

Shake the bottle well before each use.

Measure the prescribed dose using a proper measuring cup and give it with food.

Follow the doctor’s instructions for dose and duration.

Safety Advice:

Kidney: Safe in children with normal kidney function; caution is advised for severe kidney disease.

Liver: Safe in children with normal liver function; caution is advised for severe liver disease.

Missed Dose: Give the missed dose as soon as possible unless it is near the time for the next dose. Do not double doses.
