VELGASTER Gas Relief Oral Suspension
Velgastin ®
For a balanced gut feeling
Velgastin® Bloating Suspension, with the proven active ingredient simethicone, is a preparation for use in treating gas-related gastrointestinal discomfort such as bloating and a feeling of fullness. It dissolves gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing the trapped air to escape naturally. It can also be used to prepare for abdominal examinations (e.g., X-rays).
Due to its gentle, targeted mode of action and very good tolerability, Velgastin® Bloating Suspension is already suitable for infants as well as for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
