What is Simeticone?
Simeticone, the active ingredient in Noraflat, is an antiflatulent presented as an oral preparation for oral use. It works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating the coalescence and elimination of excess gas, thereby relieving discomfort in patients with flatulence, gas pain or bloating.
GNH USA supplies Noraflat as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. Our distribution network ensures reliable delivery, regulatory compliance and quality assurance across multiple regions.
