Drug Overview

Meijer Infants Gas Relief Simethicone is a medication designed to help relieve the discomfort of gas in infants, which can often be caused by swallowing air or certain formulas and foods. It contains simethicone, an ingredient that works by breaking up gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, making it easier for your baby to pass gas and feel more comfortable.

This product is dye-free, non-staining, and does not contain saccharin, artificial colors, or flavors, making it a gentle option for your little one. It comes in a convenient drop form, allowing for easy administration to infants.

Uses

If your baby is experiencing discomfort from gas, this medication can help relieve that discomfort. Infant gas can often be caused by swallowing air or certain formulas and foods. This product is designed to ease that discomfort, making your little one feel more comfortable.

Rest assured, there are no known teratogenic effects (which means it doesn't cause birth defects) associated with this medication, so you can use it with confidence.

Dosage and Administration

Before you give this medication to your child, make sure to shake the bottle well. To find the right dose, refer to the dosage chart: for infants under 2 years old or weighing less than 24 pounds, the dose is 0.3 mL. For children over 2 years old or weighing more than 24 pounds, the dose is 0.6 mL. It's best to use your child's weight for dosing, but if that's not possible, you can use their age instead.

Use only the enclosed syringe to measure the dose—do not use any other syringes, droppers, or spoons. After removing the cap, insert the syringe into the liquid and pull it up to the prescribed level. If you accidentally pull too much, simply push the plunger back until you reach the correct amount. When giving the medicine, slowly dispense it into your child's mouth, aiming for the inner cheek. You can repeat the dosage as needed after meals and at bedtime, but do not exceed 12 doses in a single day. If your child prefers, you can mix the dose with 1 ounce of cool water, infant formula, or another suitable liquid. Finally, remember to replace the cap tightly to keep it child-resistant.
