Reviewed By Dr Aneela Siddabathuni , MPharma., PhD

Meftal Spas Syrup is used in children to reduce stomach pain due to spasms, cramps, and bloating. It contains Dicyclomine and Dimethicone, which reduce spasms and pain by relaxing the muscles and blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing the sensation of pain. Also, it treats bloating and releases stomach gas more efficiently. Thus, it helps reduce muscle contractions and pain by acting on the intestine's inner lining, allowing gas bubbles to come together and relieving cramps and spasms. It may cause common side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness, weakness, nervousness, sleepiness, nausea, and headache. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if your child is allergic to any of its components, about all the medications your child is taking, and about pre-existing medical conditions.

About Meftal Spas Syrup

Meftal Spas Syrup is an antispasmodic (spasm and cramp reliever) and anti-foaming agent primarily used in children experiencing stomach pain and cramps due to gas, indigestion, infections, and gastrointestinal issues. Stomach pains may arise from various causes, including gas, inflammatory bowel conditions, constipation, and gastrointestinal problems.

It contains Dicyclomine and Dimethicone as its active substances. Dicyclomine is an antispasmodic agent that blocks muscarinic receptors on smooth muscles in gastrointestinal tracts, easing pain and decreasing motility and acid secretion. Dimethicone is an anti-foaming agent that effectively relieves gastrointestinal discomfort. Meftal Spas Syrup works by relaxing the intestinal lining and reducing muscle contractions and pain while promoting the merging of gas bubbles to alleviate cramps and spasms.

Meftal Spas Syrup is safe in children if prescribed by the doctor. It can be taken with or without food but should be taken at the same time daily for optimal effect. Common side effects of Meftal Spas Syrup may include dry mouth, weakness, drowsiness, nausea, headache, or constipation. However, most of these side effects do not require any medical treatment as they will gradually decrease over time. Consult your doctor or get any medical advice if these side effects persist or significantly affect your child.

Avoid using Meftal Spas Syrup if your child is allergic to it. Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if your child has any other medical condition or is taking other medication. Complete the course as the doctor advises to achieve the best results.

Medicinal Benefits
