You should consult a doctor if it worsens or does not improve after 10 days or if you have constipation that does not improve.

If you are allergic to simethicone or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

If you have known or suspected intestinal perforation or obstruction.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Noraflat Forte.

If symptoms worsen, or if they persist after 10 days of treatment, or if you have constipation that does not improve, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.

Children

There are other commercial formulations available for children.

Simethicone is not recommended for the treatment of infantile colic due to limited available information.

Taking Noraflat Forte with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication.

The absorption of levothyroxine (a medication used in the treatment of thyroid diseases and disorders) may be affected if simethicone is administered at the same time, so the administration of preparations with levothyroxine and preparations with simethicone should be separated by at least 4 hours.
