What is simethicone?
Simethicone is an agent called surfactant. Simethicone acts to cause all the small bubbles of gas in the baby's stomach to join together into one large bubble which can be more easily expelled
Can Infacol cause constipation?
We have no reports of Infacol causing constipation
Can Infacol cause drowsiness or sedation?
No. Infacol is not absorbed into the bloodstream and has no effects on the central nervous system
Are the symptoms of colic and lactose intolerance the same?
Whilst there are some similarities between the symptoms of colic and lactose intolerance - it is important to note that the main difference is that the lactose intolerant baby suffers from diarrhoea.
The pressure generated by lactose and lactic acid in the stomach produces an influx of water leading to a swollen abdomen and acidic diarrhoea
Can unfinished bottle of milk with infacol be placed in the fridge then microwaved later without harm?
No. Microwaves do not heat foods/liquid evenly and some milk may reach a temperature which will degrade the Infacol.
Infacol is intended to be used immediately after addition to feeds
If you suspect your baby may be suffering from lactose intolerance, contact your health visitor or family doctor
Can Infacol be administered with water or juice, instead of milk?
Yes. Product mixes with water. Drink should be administered immediately after mixing
