Noraflat contains the active ingredient simethicone, which belongs to a group of medicines that act by destroying gas bubbles, facilitating their elimination and relieving the discomfort they cause.

Noraflat is indicated for the symptomatic relief of gas in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age.

You should consult a doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve after 10 days or if you have constipation that does not improve.

Doctor consultation

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before taking Noraflat

Do not take Noraflat:

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

If you have a known or suspected intestinal perforation or obstruction.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Noraflat.

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

Children

There are other formulations available for children.

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

Taking Noraflat with other medicines

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

The absorption of levothyroxine (a medicine used to treat thyroid diseases and dysfunctions) may be affected if simethicone is administered at the same time, so the intake of levothyroxine preparations and simethicone preparations should be separated by at least 4 hours.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Driving and using machines

Noraflat has no influence on the ability to drive or use machines.

Noraflat contains sucrose, glucose, sorbitol (E-420), and sodium

This medicine contains sucrose and glucose. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medicine.

It may harm your teeth.

This medicine contains 240 mg of sorbitol in each tablet. Sorbitol is a source of fructose. If your doctor has told you that you (or your child) have an intolerance to certain sugars, or have been diagnosed with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI), a rare genetic disease in which the patient cannot break down fructose, consult with your doctor before taking this medicine.

Sorbitol may cause gastrointestinal upset and a mild laxative effect.

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet; it is essentially "sodium-free".

Follow the administration instructions for the medicine contained in this leaflet or as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Adults and adolescents over 12 years of age:

The recommended dose is 2 chewable tablets (80 mg of simethicone) three times a day, after each of the main meals.

Method of administration

This medicine is administered orally.

Chew the tablets well before swallowing (do not swallow them whole).

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

If you take more Noraflat than you should

No cases of overdose are known.

Even if a much higher dose than indicated is ingested, it is very unlikely that side effects will occur, due to the lack of digestive absorption of the medicine.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, go to a medical center, consult your doctor or pharmacist, or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount ingested.

If you forget to take Noraflat

Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses.
