Pediacol Oral Drops Orange Flavour 50 ml

Medication name: Pediacol Oral Drops Orange Flavour 50 ml
Drug class: Antiflatulent and colic relief drops (contains simethicone)

Use:
This medication is used to relieve discomfort caused by trapped gas in the stomach and intestines.
It helps reduce symptoms such as bloating, pressure, and irritability associated with infant colic or swallowed air during feeding.

How it works:
The active ingredient, simethicone, breaks down small gas bubbles in the digestive system.
It reduces their surface tension, allowing them to merge into larger bubbles that can be released more easily through burping or passing gas.
This process provides gentle and effective relief from abdominal discomfort without affecting digestion or stomach acidity.

Dosage and administration:
Shake the bottle well before each use.
The drops can be given directly by mouth or mixed with a small amount of milk or water.
Each 0.6 ml contains 40 mg of simethicone.
For infants and children, the usual dose is 0.3 ml to 0.6 ml after each meal and at bedtime, or as directed by a doctor.
Always use the provided dropper and follow the doctor’s dosage instructions carefully.

Side effects:
Pediacol is generally safe and well tolerated.
Occasionally, mild stomach upset or skin irritation may occur.
Serious allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or breathing difficulty are rare but require immediate medical attention.

Precautions:
Do not use if the infant is allergic to simethicone or any other ingredient in the formula.
Consult a doctor before use in premature infants or if the baby has persistent abdominal pain, vomiting, or fever, as these may indicate a more serious condition.
This product is for oral use only and should not be injected or inhaled.

Storage:
Store below 25 °C, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.
Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
