What is Infacol?
Infacol contains simeticone, which helps relieve trapped wind in babies. It works by reducing the surface tension of small gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines so they join together into larger bubbles. This makes gas easier to pass by burping or passing wind, which can reduce discomfort linked to colic.
Who is Infacol suitable for?
Infacol can be used from birth.
Seek advice before use if your baby is very young and you are unsure, or if symptoms are severe, persistent, or getting worse.
Do not use if your baby is allergic to any of the ingredients. Stop using and seek urgent medical help if you notice signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, or breathing difficulty.
How to use Infacol
Use Infacol exactly as directed on the packaging.
Typical use
- Give 0.5 ml just before each feed
- Use the dropper provided to measure the dose
- Give it directly into your baby’s mouth, slowly onto the inside of the cheek

If there is no improvement after 3 to 4 days of continuous use, speak to your GP or health visitor.
How to store Infacol
