Colicure Syrup 30 ml

Colicure Syrup is used in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and colic pain in children. The detailed uses of Colicure Syrup are as follows:

• Treatment of Gastrointestinal Spasms: Colicure Syrup is commonly used to relieve gastrointestinal (GI) spasms, helping ease abdominal discomfort and cramping.
• Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Colicure Syrup is effective in reducing symptoms of IBS, such as bloating, pain, and irregular bowel movements.

Colicure Syrup contains ‘Dicyclomine’, also known as Dicycloverine. It belongs to the class of medicines called ‘anticholinergic/antispasmodic agents’. Colicure Syrup effectively treats irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and colic pain in children. It works by blocking the activity of acetylcholine (a chemical messenger that sends signals to nerve cells) by binding to muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle. This process helps relax the smooth muscles, inhibits natural gut movements, decreases gastric acid secretion, and controls excessive gastrointestinal secretions. Thus, Colicure Syrup prevents spasms in the muscles of the stomach and intestines. Colicure Syrup is also used to relieve cramps, bloating, and pain in the stomach and intestine.

• Colicure Syrup can be given with or without food.
• Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of the medication.
• Shake well before use. Administer the advised dose to the child using the measuring cup/measuring spoon/dropper.
• Avoid using regular household spoons, as they may not measure the dose correctly.

• Feed in an upright position: Keep your baby or child upright during feedings and for at least 30 minutes afterwards to help prevent swallowed air and ease digestion.
• Frequent burping: Burp your baby frequently during and after feedings to release trapped gas before it causes painful spasms.
• Identify trigger foods: If your child is on solid foods, keep a food diary to note if certain items like dairy, beans, or cruciferous vegetables trigger their stomach pain.
• Warm compresses: Gently placing a warm washcloth or warm water bottle (safely wrapped) on your child's tummy can help relax the abdominal muscles.
• Bicycle legs exercise: Gently moving your baby's legs in a bicycling motion can help release trapped gas and relieve pressure in the intestines.

• Check the liquid before use: Always inspect the solution before giving it to your child. Do not use it if you notice any colour changes, cloudiness, or floating particles.
• Never use for infants under 6 months & Check local guidance: This medicine is strictly contraindicated for babies younger than six months due to the risk of severe, life-threatening breathing problems. In older infants, its use for colic is off-label in many regions, and paediatric regulatory guidance varies by country—always consult your paediatrician to confirm local recommendations.
• Avoid overheating: This medicine can reduce sweating, making it harder for your child's body to cool down. Keep your child cool and hydrated, especially in hot weather or during physical play.
• Use the dedicated measuring tool: Always use the dropper or syringe that comes with the package. Wash and dry it thoroughly after each use to keep it clean.
• Monitor for drowsiness: This medicine can cause sleepiness. Keep a close eye on your child when they are playing or climbing stairs to prevent accidental falls.
