Hello Emily, this is WikiKenko,
Metsil Fort is used as an antiflatulent to relieve symptoms commonly referred to gas including upper GI bloating, pressure, fullness or stuffed feeling. The clinical use of Simeticone is based on its antifoaming properties. Its antifoaming action relieves flatulence by dispersing and preventing the formation of mucous surrounded gas pockets in the GI tract. Simeticone acts in the stomach and intestines to change the surface tension of gas bubbles, enabling them to coalesce; thus gas is freed and eliminated more easily by belching or passing flatus.
Metsil Fort is available both as a prescription and over-the-counter medication1. However, it is always recommended to consult with a doctor before taking any medication.
I’m sorry, but we couldn’t find any information about the availability of Metsil drops in England from our medical sources. It would be best to consult with a doctor or pharmacist in England for more information about its availability and whether you can purchase it there.
