COLCICAID DROPS 15ML

About

Colcicaid Drops are specifically formulated to provide gentle and effective relief from infant colic, excessive gas, and abdominal discomfort often experienced by babies. The primary active ingredient is typically simethicone, an anti-foaming agent that works by physically breaking down trapped gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract. Simethicone does not get absorbed into the bloodstream, acting locally within the gut to coalesce smaller gas bubbles into larger ones, which are then easier for the baby to pass naturally. This mechanism helps to reduce bloating, pressure, and the painful spasms associated with colic. Colcicaid Drops are designed for easy administration, often directly into the baby's mouth or mixed with formula or breast milk. They offer a non-systemic approach to managing infant digestive discomfort, providing soothing relief without interfering with the baby's natural digestive processes.
