Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Meteospasmyl used to treat?+
Meteospasmyl is indicated for relief of intestinal colic, flatulence, abdominal pain, bloating and symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome. It works by relaxing gastrointestinal smooth muscle and helping eliminate excess gas.
How does alverine citrate work in Meteospasmyl?+
Alverine citrate acts as a direct smooth‑muscle relaxant. It blocks calcium entry into gastrointestinal muscle cells, reducing spasm and pain. Simethicone, the second component, lowers surface tension of gas bubbles, allowing them to combine and be expelled more easily.
What is the usual dose of Meteospasmyl?+
The dosage of Meteospasmyl is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, age and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.
Is Meteospasmyl safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
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.
How do I order Meteospasmyl from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will request trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details and import documentation.
How does Meteospasmyl compare with other antispasmodic drugs?+
Meteospasmyl combines an antispasmodic (alverine citrate) with an antiflatulent (simethicone), offering dual action on muscle spasm and gas. Other antispasmodics, such as hyoscine or mebeverine, address spasm alone and may not provide the same gas‑relief benefit.
What are the recommended storage conditions for Meteospasmyl?+
Meteospasmyl should be stored at temperatures below 25 °C, in its original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keeping the product in a dry, cool place helps maintain its stability and efficacy.
How is Meteospasmyl administered?+
Meteospasmyl is taken orally, usually with water. The exact timing relative to meals depends on the prescriber’s guidance. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew unless specifically instructed.
What are the most serious risks associated with Meteospasmyl?+
Serious but rare risks include allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling or difficulty breathing, and severe dizziness or vertigo. If any of these occur, seek immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Meteospasmyl?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to alverine citrate, simethicone or any excipients in the formulation should avoid Meteospasmyl. Patients with severe liver or kidney impairment should consult a physician before use.
