COLICARE DROPS 30ML

COLICARE DROPS 30ML is a medication containing two active ingredients: Dicyclomine Hydrochloride & Dimethicone. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms associated with gastrointestinal conditions, such as infantile colic, gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.

Uses:

1. Infantile Colic: COLICARE DROPS are primarily used to alleviate symptoms of infantile colic, a common condition characterized by excessive crying, fussiness, and irritability in infants, typically due to gastrointestinal discomfort.
2. Gas and Bloating: It may also help relieve symptoms of gas and bloating in both infants and adults by reducing intestinal spasms and promoting the expulsion of gas from the digestive tract.

Mechanism of Action:

• Dicyclomine Hydrochloride: Dicyclomine is an anticholinergic medication that works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in smooth muscle contraction. By relaxing the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, it helps reduce intestinal spasms and relieve abdominal cramping.
• Dimethicone: Dimethicone is an antiflatulent agent that works by breaking down gas bubbles in the digestive system, making it easier for gas to be expelled and reducing bloating and discomfort.

Dosage and Administration:

• The dosage of COLICARE DROPS and the frequency of administration depend on the age of the patient and the severity of symptoms.
• It is typically administered orally, either directly into the mouth or mixed with a small amount of water or milk, as directed by a healthcare professional.
