Uses

Colicaid drops are generally used for the following conditions in infants and toddlers:

1. Colic: Helps relieve the discomfort caused by trapped gas in the intestines, which often leads to crying and fussiness in babies.
2. Bloating and Flatulence: Reduces the formation of gas and helps in its easy passage.
3. Indigestion: Aids in digestive discomfort and relieves symptoms of indigestion.
