Form: Oral Drops / Syrup
Product Summary
This specialized triple-action formula is designed to provide rapid relief from infantile colic, flatulence (gas), and abdominal bloating. It combines the carminative properties of natural essential oils with the anti-foaming action of Simethicone to soothe your baby’s digestive system.
Preparation in Work
Simethicone: An anti-foaming agent works by breaking down gas bubbles in the gut. With modified surface pressures, bubbles converge with one another to form larger bubbles that are tactile for the system to go out as a burp or flatus.
Dill Oil and Fennel Oil: These are natural carminatives that stimulate peristalsis in the digestive tract, help relax smooth muscles in the stomach, and help the expulsion of trapped gas. They help to calmingly soothe the intestines.
Benefits and Uses
Colic Relief: Moves your tiny one to pass calmingly through his repetitive “crying spells” caused by gas swelling.
Bloat Reduction: Deflates a distended, hard tummy out of immediate air swallowing during feeding.
Improving Digestion Supports: Gently eases up on the natural movement of the gastrointestinal motility, this is peristalsis.
Comforts Post Feeding: Ideal for those babies who struggle to silence their crying from gassy releases in the form of “spitting-up.”
Dosage and Administration
General: Dose is weight-based and most often given on grounds of the child’s age and weight. Always follow their specific oriented instructions on the product fits in or as your pediatrician provides in reference to administration for all different amounts of children.
Age Group | Typical Dosage (Drops) | Frequency
0–6 months: 5–10 drops — Three to four times daily, 15 minutes before feeding
6–12 months: 10–20 drops — Three to four times daily, 15 minutes before feeding

Parents’ Quick Tips
Shake Well: Shake the bottle every time before use to ensure appropriate mixing of the oils and Simethicone.
Speed: Administer approximately 15 minutes before feeding for the best results to prevent gas buildup.
Keep Upright: Hold upright, and for another 20 minutes after the baby feeds to maximize medication absorption into the baby.
Safety Information and Side Effects
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze.
Allergy Check: Rare, but if you notice any rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing in your child, seek medical help immediately.
Side Effects: This formula is usually very safe. A few babies might have slightly loose stools, or they could burp a little less; nothing a patrolling parent cannot handle.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Are these drops safe for newborns?
Yes, these ingredients are relatively safe for newborns. But it is highly recommended to ask a doctor before starting treatment if the baby is less than 1 month old.
2. How long will it take to see outcomes?
Simethicone generally offers results in 15–30 minutes. You may see the baby start burping or passing wind almost right after the dose, which means it is working.
3. Can I mix these drops with formula or baby-delivered breast milk?
The best way is to directly give the baby drops without mixing it with anything. Nonetheless, for the taste-sensitive one, just a few drops might be added to a tiny bit of cool water or formula.
4. My baby has heavy sleep after these drops. Is that OK?
None in itself is due to sedating properties in the medicine. But a baby that has been in pain because of wind might eventually sleep heavily once the distress is over.
5. For how long can I use these?
It is used on an “as-needed” basis. If these symptoms do not reduce within 3 to 5 days despite your treatment, consult your doctor to rule out other digestive problems.
