Dentinox Infant Colic Drops - 100ml

Dentinox Infant Colic Drops 100ml are an oral anti-flatulent treatment used to help relieve the symptoms of infant colic and trapped wind, such as excessive crying, bloating and abdominal discomfort.

The drops contain simeticone, which works physically in the gut by breaking down small gas bubbles into larger ones, making them easier for the baby to pass. This helps to reduce pressure and discomfort associated with trapped wind. The formulation may also include dill oil, traditionally used to support digestive comfort.

Dentinox Infant Colic Drops are sugar-free and alcohol-free and are suitable for use from birth. They are commonly recommended in pharmacy practice as a first-line option for wind-related colic, as simeticone is not absorbed into the body and acts locally in the digestive system.
