Description:

Gasiflatyl is an anti-flatulent medication used to relieve symptoms caused by excess gas in the gastrointestinal tract. Its active ingredient, simethicone, works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles, causing them to collapse and be eliminated more easily. The medicine acts locally in the gut and is not absorbed into the bloodstream. It helps relieve bloating, abdominal pressure, and discomfort associated with gas buildup.
