Infacol is an antiflatulent specifically formulated for infants. Its active ingredient, Simeticone, helps to relieve the discomfort associated with trapped gas and infant colic. It is a gentle, non-absorbed medication that works physically within the digestive system rather than being absorbed into the baby's bloodstream.
Infacol is primarily indicated for the relief of griping pain, infant colic, and wind. It is used to:
Help infants expel trapped gas more easily.
Relieve abdominal bloating and "wind" pain.
Reduce the crying and irritability associated with infant colic.
Assist babies who struggle with "burping" after feeding.
Infacol acts by changing the surface tension of the tiny gas bubbles trapped in the baby's stomach. It causes these small bubbles to join together into larger bubbles, which are then much easier for the baby to pass as a "burp" or flatulence.
Standard Dose: One full dropper (0.5ml) given before each feed.
Increased Dose: If symptoms do not improve after 3 or 4 days, the dose may be increased to two full droppers (1.0ml), especially before evening feeds.
Note: Infacol should be used for several days to achieve the best results, as the effect builds up over time.
To ensure your baby gets the most relief:
Shake the Bottle: Gently shake the bottle before use.
Draw the Dose: Use the integrated dropper to draw up the liquid. Wipe any excess off the outside of the dropper back into the bottle.
Administer: Release the liquid onto the back of the baby's tongue.
Timing: Give the dose before every feed (whether breast or bottle-fed).
Hygiene: Do not let the dropper touch the baby's mouth directly if possible; if it does, rinse it with cooled boiled water before returning it to the bottle.
Simeticone (40mg per 1ml): The active ingredient that breaks down gas bubbles.
Orange Flavor: Makes the suspension palatable for infants.
Free From: It is sugar-free, alcohol-free, and contains no artificial colors.
Indicated For: Infants from birth onwards.
Precautions: Do not use if your baby is being treated for a thyroid disorder (as Simeticone can interfere with some thyroid medications).
Medical Consultation: If your baby’s symptoms persist or if you notice any unusual side effects, consult a pediatrician or our pharmacist.
Q: How long does it take to work?
A: While some babies feel relief quickly, it usually takes 2 to 3 days of consistent use before every feed to see the full benefit in reducing colic symptoms.
Q: Can I give it more than 6 times a day?
A: Yes. Infacol is designed to be given before every feed, regardless of how many times a day the baby eats.
Q: Is it safe to use long-term?
A: Yes. Since it is not absorbed into the body and works only on gas bubbles, it is safe to use for as long as the baby suffers from wind or colic.
