Mac-DFS Drops helps relieve digestive disorders like alleviating infant colic, griping pain, and flatulence. It contains Dil oil, fennel oil and simethicone. Simethicone works by altering the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, allowing smaller bubbles to combine to generate larger bubbles.

About Mac-DFS Drops

Mac-DFS Drops is used to alleviate infant colic, griping pain, and flatulence in children. Colic pain/abdominal pain occurs between the chest and pelvic regions. A gripping pain is a sudden, sharp pain in your stomach or bowels. Flatulence is the accumulation of gas in the alimentary canal.

How Mac-DFS Drops Works

Mac-DFS Drops contains three active ingredients that work together to relieve your baby's digestive discomfort. Simethicone: It is an anti-foaming agent that works by changing the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines. This causes smaller, trapped gas bubbles to merge into larger bubbles, which your baby can then pass much more easily as a burp or flatus. Dill oil: It is a natural carminative that helps relax the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, easing the spasms and cramps that cause griping pain. Fennel oil: It is also a natural carminative that works similarly by stimulating digestion and reducing gut spasms, which helps move trapped gas through the digestive system smoothly. Together, they offer a gentle, highly effective approach to comforting a fussy baby.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Keep the baby upright: Hold your baby in an upright position during feeding and for at least 15 to 20 minutes afterwards to prevent air from getting trapped in the stomach.
  • Pace the feeding: If bottle-feeding, ensure the nipple hole is the correct size; a hole that is too large or too small can cause your baby to swallow excess air.
  • Burp your baby frequently: Pause to burp your baby halfway through their feed and again when they are finished to release swallowed air before it moves to the intestines.
  • Try tummy massage: Gently massage your baby’s tummy in a clockwise direction or move their legs in a gentle 'bicycle' motion to help move trapped wind naturally.
