Infacol Colic Relief Simeticone – 55ml

Description

Infacol Colic Relief Simeticone – 55ml

Infacol Colic Relief is a medicine used to relieve the symptoms of infant colic and griping pain, which are often caused by trapped wind in babies. It contains simeticone, an antiflatulent that helps to reduce uncomfortable gas bubbles in your baby’s tummy.

⸻

How It Works

Simeticone works by bringing together the tiny gas bubbles trapped in your baby’s digestive system, combining them into larger bubbles that are easier to pass naturally. This helps to relieve the bloating, discomfort, and pain associated with colic and wind.

⸻

Directions for Use

Infacol is suitable for use in babies from birth onwards. Give 0.5 ml (one full dropper) before each feed. The dropper provided makes it easy to place the dose directly into your baby’s mouth. Infacol can be used at every feed, and best results are often seen after several days of continued use. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Interactions

Simeticone is not significantly absorbed into the body, so interactions with other medicines are considered to be very unlikely. No clinically significant drug interactions have been identified. Tell your PillSorted pharmacist or doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, including herbal remedies and supplements.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Infacol is given to babies and is not intended for use in adults.

Alcohol

Infacol is a medicine intended for infants and alcohol is not relevant to this product. Do not add alcohol or any other substance to Infacol before giving it to your baby.

⸻

Driving and Operating Machinery
