Indications & Clinical Uses

Meteospasmyl, an antispasmodic/antiflatulent combination, acts on functional gastrointestinal disorders to relieve spasm and gas.

  • Abdominal pain: reduces pain associated with gastrointestinal spasm.
  • Intestinal spasm: relaxes smooth muscle to ease cramping.
  • Flatulence: facilitates elimination of intestinal gas.
  • Irritable bowel syndrome: alleviates IBS‑related cramping and bloating.
  • Functional bowel disorders: improves overall discomfort and motility.

How It Works

  • Alverine citrate directly relaxes gastrointestinal smooth muscle by inhibiting calcium influx, thereby reducing spasm. Simethicone acts as a surfactant, decreasing surface tension of gas bubbles in the gut, allowing coalescence and easier elimination through belching or flatulence.

Side Effects

Meteospasmyl may cause adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea: mild stomach upset.
  • Headache: occasional tension‑type headache.
  • Dizziness: brief light‑headed sensation.
  • Abdominal discomfort: mild cramping or fullness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Rash or urticaria: signs of allergic reaction.
  • Swelling of face, lips or tongue: possible angioedema.
  • Difficulty breathing: potential severe hypersensitivity.
  • Severe constipation: marked reduction in bowel movements.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Meteospasmyl, consider the following precautions.

  • Assess renal or hepatic impairment: adjust use if organ function is compromised.
  • Known hypersensitivity: avoid if patient is allergic to alverine citrate or simethicone.
  • Gastrointestinal obstruction: do not use in complete blockage.
  • Monitor for allergic signs: discontinue if rash, swelling or breathing difficulty occurs.
  • Do not exceed recommended duration without medical review.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Meteospasmyl can interact with other medicines; awareness of the level of interaction helps manage risk.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concomitant anticholinergic agents (e.g., atropine): may cause excessive antispasmodic effect.
  • Use with other antispasmodics: increased risk of gastrointestinal motility disturbances.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • CYP3A4 substrates: alverine may alter metabolism of drugs processed by this pathway.
  • Antihistamines: combined dry‑mouth effects.
  • Alcohol: may enhance dizziness or drowsiness.
  • Anticoagulants: monitor if simethicone affects absorption of oral anticoagulants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Meteospasmyl is an over‑the‑counter oral medication that combines alverine citrate and simethicone. It is used to relieve abdominal pain, intestinal spasm, flatulence and other symptoms associated with functional gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and functional bowel disorders.

Alverine citrate acts as a direct smooth‑muscle relaxant. It inhibits calcium influx into gastrointestinal smooth‑muscle cells, reducing involuntary contractions and spasm. This relaxation eases cramping and pain, while the accompanying simethicone lowers surface tension of gas bubbles to aid their elimination.

The appropriate dose of Meteospasmyl is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s condition, age, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not alter the dose without medical advice.

Safety data for Meteospasmyl in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using the product.

To order Meteospasmyl, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Meteospasmyl combines an antispasmodic (alverine citrate) with an antiflatulent (simethicone), offering both muscle‑relaxing and gas‑eliminating actions. Compared with single‑agent antispasmodics such as hyoscine butylbromide, Meteospasmyl may provide broader symptom relief for patients who also experience significant flatulence.

Meteospasmyl should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain stability.

Meteospasmyl is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. The exact timing (e.g., before meals, after meals) and frequency are determined by the prescribing clinician. Swallow the tablet or capsule whole; do not crush or chew unless directed.

Serious adverse reactions, although rare, include allergic manifestations such as rash, urticaria, facial or lip swelling, and difficulty breathing (angioedema). If any of these signs appear, discontinue the medication immediately and seek medical attention.

Meteospasmyl should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to alverine citrate, simethicone, or any excipients in the formulation. It is also contraindicated in patients with complete gastrointestinal obstruction or severe hepatic/renal impairment unless a physician advises otherwise.
