Galcol Drops 30 ML contains three active ingredients:

• Dill Oil (0.005 ml/ml): This oil extracted from dill seeds helps relax the smooth muscles in your child's gastrointestinal tract. This action can ease spasms and cramp-like pain in the stomach and intestines. Additionally, dill oil aids in expelling gas from the body and reducing bloating.

• Fennel Oil (0.0007 ml/ml): Derived from fennel seeds, this oil exhibits similar properties as dill oil. It soothes the digestive tract, alleviates spasmodic pain and flatulence, and aids in expelling excess gas. Furthermore, fennel oil helps reduce intestinal cramping and enhance gastrointestinal motility.

• Simethicone (40 mg/ml): This is an anti-foaming agent that changes the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, smaller gas bubbles merge into larger ones, making them easier to release as wind or belches. Simethicone works solely within the gut lumen and does not get absorbed systemically, alleviating bloating, abdominal distension, and discomfort due to excessive gas production.

• Store Galcol Drops 30 ML at room temperature.

• Protect the medicine from direct sunlight and excess moisture.

• Keep it in a secure place, out of the reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use and avoid using any medicine past its expiry date.

• Ensure that the baby is fed in an upright position and burped frequently during and after feedings to reduce swallowed air, which can contribute to colic. If breastfeeding, the mother might consider avoiding potential trigger foods such as dairy, caffeine, and spicy foods, as these can sometimes affect the baby through breast milk.

• Establish a calming bedtime routine that includes gentle rocking, swaddling, or a warm bath to help soothe the baby. Creating a quiet, dark environment can also aid in reducing overstimulation, which may help ease colic symptoms.
