Medicinal Benefits:

Meftal-Spas Suspension is a combination drug containing Dicyclomine (antispasmodic) and Simethicone (anti-foaming agent), primarily given to get relief from abdominal spasmodic pain, bloating, and general pain-related discomfort of the lower abdomen. Dicyclomine, being an antispasmodic, helps treat spasms and pain by relaxing the muscles. It also blocks certain chemical messengers in the brain, which cause pain sensation, hence relieving pain. Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent; it helps to treat bloating and releases gas more easily. Collectively, both help to reduce abdominal pain caused due to spasms, cramps and gas formation.
