EspiFORTE, 20 capsules

Bloating can be described as a sensation of an inflated balloon in the abdomen.

 It is a frequently reported symptom and is sometimes associated with distension.

The resistant foam bubbles in the intestine strongly retain the gases, and they can no longer be released.

Gases build up as others are added during the digestion process. The consequence: bloating and a feeling of fullness up to colic-type pain.

1. WHAT IS ESPI FORTE AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR:

Espi FORTE , in the form of soft gelatin capsules,

for oral administration, contains simethicone, a substance with antifoam properties.

Espi FORTE is used in:

- symptomatic treatment of gastrointestinal disorders caused by gas accumulation; for example, bloating (meteorism) or flatulence, feeling of fullness.

- preparation for diagnostic examinations; for example, radiography, ultrasound and endoscopy.

2. BEFORE YOU TAKE Espi FORTE:

Do not use Espi FORTE in case of known hypersensitivity to simethicone or any of the other components of Espi FORTE .

Pregnancy and breast-feeding:

In general, simethicone can be used without reservations during pregnancy and breastfeeding, because it is excreted unchanged from the intestine and is not absorbed in the body. 

Use in children:

This product should not be given to children under 14 years of age. Other forms of presentation are available for this age group to achieve the desired dose.

Use in diabetics:

Espi FORTE does not contain sugar and can be used by diabetics.
