Colimex Oral Drops
Description
Colimex Drops are commonly prescribed for children to relieve stomach pain, cramps, bloating, and gas. They contain two active ingredients: dicyclomine, which relaxes the smooth muscles in the digestive tract to reduce cramps and discomfort, and simethicone, which breaks down trapped gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, making it easier to pass and relieving bloating.
These drops are especially useful for infants and young children who frequently experience colic, indigestion, or gas-related discomfort. Colimex drops are usually administered orally, either directly or mixed with a small amount of water or milk to make them easier for children to take.
The dosage depends on the child’s age, weight, and medical condition. It is very important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your paediatrician carefully. Do not give more than the prescribed amount, as an overdose may cause harmful side effects. Parents should never self-medicate or adjust the dose without medical advice.
While Colimex drops are generally safe when used correctly, improper or excessive use can lead to serious complications such as breathing difficulties, drowsiness, or allergic reactions. If your child shows any unusual symptoms after taking the drops, seek medical attention immediately. Always use the measuring dropper provided with the medication for accurate dosing.
Another medicine with a similar combination is Cyclopam drops, which also contains dicycloverine and simethicone. Both medicines work similarly to relieve colic and gas-related discomfort in children. However, the choice between them should be made by a doctor, based on your child’s specific condition and needs.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?

- Simethicone is an antifoaming agent. It changes the surface tension of the gas bubbles in the stomach and intestine; thus the gas bubbles burst and the gas is expelled.
