Product information

Overview

Why people choose it

Contains simeticone to relieve trapped wind, infant colic and griping pain
Suitable for use from birth
Sugar-free, alcohol-free and colourant-free orange-flavoured formula
Integrated dropper for easy, accurate dosing
One 50ml bottle provides approximately 100 doses
Acts locally in the gut and is not absorbed into your baby's body

How to take it

Shake the bottle gently before use. Using the integrated dropper, draw up and give one dropper full (0.5ml) directly onto the back of your baby's tongue before each feed. If colic symptoms persist after 3-4 days, the dose may be increased to two dropper fuls (1ml), particularly before the evening feed, unless your doctor advises otherwise. Only use the dropper supplied with Infacol, do not substitute another dropper. Suitable for use from birth. Always read the label and package leaflet before use.

Warnings

Do not use if your baby is allergic to simeticone or any other ingredient in the product. Speak to a doctor before use if your baby is being treated for a thyroid disorder with levothyroxine, as simeticone may reduce absorption of this medicine. Contains methyl hydroxybenzoate (E218) and propyl hydroxybenzoate (E216), which may rarely cause allergic reactions, sometimes delayed in onset. Stop use and seek medical advice if you notice signs of an allergic reaction, or if colic symptoms do not improve or seem to worsen. Keep out of sight and reach of children. Report any suspected side effects via the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme. Always read the instructions/package leaflet before use. If in doubt, consult your pharmacist, health visitor or GP.

Side effects

Very unusual for Infacol to cause side effects, since simeticone is not absorbed into the baby's body. Rare allergic reactions (attributed to the preservatives) can occur - seek urgent medical help for swelling of the face/lips/mouth/throat, breathing difficulty, or a sudden rash.

Age restrictions

Can be given from birth onwards; no upper age limit stated. Should not be given to anyone with a known allergy to simeticone or to the product's preservatives.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Not addressed directly, as this is administered to the infant rather than the mother. Simeticone itself acts locally in the gut, is not absorbed into the blood, and is generally considered compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Alcohol

Infacol is alcohol-free and is administered to infants, not adults.

Driving and machinery

Infacol is a colic remedy for infants from birth. Simeticone acts only locally in the gut (not absorbed into the bloodstream) and has no sedative or CNS effect.

Storage

Store below 25C. Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date. Once opened, use within 28 days.

If anything here is unclear, or you are not sure this is the right choice, speak to our pharmacist before you buy.

From what age can I give my baby Infacol?

Infacol is suitable for use from birth, given before feeds according to the dosing instructions on the label and package leaflet.

How does Infacol actually work?

Its active ingredient, simeticone, reduces the surface tension of small gas bubbles trapped in your baby's digestive system, helping them join together into larger bubbles that are easier for your baby to bring up or pass, easing discomfort from trapped wind and colic.

How many doses will I get from one 50ml bottle?

A 50ml bottle provides approximately 100 doses at the standard starting dose of one dropper full (0.5ml) before each feed.

What if Infacol doesn't seem to be helping after a few days?

If there's no improvement after 3-4 days, the dose can be increased to two dropper fuls (1ml), especially before the evening feed, unless your doctor has advised otherwise. If symptoms still don't improve, speak to your pharmacist, health visitor or GP.

Are there any side effects to be aware of?

Side effects are very unusual, as simeticone is not absorbed into your baby's body. Rarely, some babies may have an allergic reaction to the preservatives in the formula (E218/E216) if you notice any signs of a reaction, stop use and seek medical advice.
