INTRODUCTION

Colicaid syrup is an effective aid for infantile colic and abdominal discomfort. It relieves flatulence, abdominal bloating and colic pain in infants. Simethicone expels trapped gas and relieves discomfort, while dill oil and fennel oil reduce spasm and increases intestinal motility. Simethicone helps to reduce gas from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in patients complaining from recurrent flatulence. It decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles thereby disperses and prevents gas pockets in the GI system.

Because of their carminative properties, they can help stop gas formation in the intestines. Dill oil supports digestion by stimulating digestive juices in the stomach.
