Immediate relief from flatulence
Velgastin^® Flatulence Suspension is a defoamer containing the active ingredient simethicone. The drops work quickly and are very effective for treating gas in babies – commonly known as three-month colic – which is often accompanied by abdominal pain, a hard stomach, and hours of crying.

Good reasons to trust Velgastin^®

• is very effective for treating gas or bloating in babies, but also in children, adolescents, and adults.

• provides quick and targeted relief from gas and bloating, infant gas (also known colloquially as three-month colic), or gas in the stomach.

• is very well tolerated – and is also vegan, gluten- and lactose-free. Contains no dyes, parabens, or gelatin.

• is easy to use thanks to delicious-tasting drops (banana flavor) in a ready-to-use bottle. Drops have proven particularly effective for infants and children.

Velgastin^®: Easy to use and easy to dose

Velgastin^® is best taken before or with meals, and if necessary, at bedtime.

The duration of use depends on the course of the symptoms. Velgastin^® can also be taken for longer periods. The active ingredient simethicone does not enter the bloodstream. It exerts its desired effect and is excreted unchanged from the body after passing through the gastrointestinal tract.

The dosage of Velgastin^® depends on the child's age:

Velgastin^® quickly relieves the discomfort, and well-being can be restored

Flatulence is completely normal from time to time. However, if it becomes more severe or lasts longer, it can become uncomfortable. Babies in particular suffer from the pressure in their stomach, which affects their still very sensitive digestive system. The result is audible: They cry and are difficult to calm down. A stressful situation for both baby and parents.

Such unpleasant flatulence can occur because too much air is trapped in the stomach and intestines in a kind of foam and can no longer escape properly. The stomach feels bloated.

This is precisely where Velgastin^® comes into play for flatulence with the proven active ingredient simethicone: It has a defoamer effect by quickly bursting the foam bubbles in the intestines. The released air can be expelled naturally, and the symptoms quickly subside.

Simethicone is very well tolerated and therefore ideal for infants, toddlers, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and the elderly.

Velgastin^® provides quick and effective relief from flatulence, thus ensuring a balanced stomach feeling.

Velgastin^® Soothes Baby's Tummy and Everyday Gas Problems

If a baby is suffering from gas or colic, the tummy usually feels hard and bloated. The abdominal pain causes the infant to cry for long periods of time – usually in the evenings. These symptoms can occur more frequently from the second week after birth.

One possible cause of gas and colic in infants is swallowing air, for example, while eating, drinking, crying, or in stressful and exciting situations. This air presses on the baby's tummy and causes it to swell, resulting in stomach pain and crying.

If such gas occurs frequently or over a longer period of time, it quickly becomes stressful for the parents. In addition to classic home remedies such as gentle massage, heat, or the airplane hold, Velgastin^® provides quick relief and soothing for the stomach, baby, and everyday life.
