Frequently asked questions

What is Infacol used for?+
Infacol is an oral liquid suspension containing simeticone, an antiflatulent that helps relieve infant colic, gastrointestinal gas, and abdominal bloating by facilitating the removal of trapped gas in the baby's digestive tract.
How does simeticone work in Infacol?+
Simeticone acts as a surfactant that reduces the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing them to merge into larger bubbles that can be more easily expelled through belching or flatulence, thereby decreasing discomfort.
What is the usual dose of Infacol?+
The appropriate dose of Infacol is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the infant’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Caregivers should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label precisely.
Is Infacol safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for simeticone in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk, and this decision should be made by a healthcare provider.
How do I order Infacol from GNH USA?+
To order Infacol, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Infacol compare with other gas‑relief products?+
Infacol’s active ingredient, simeticone, is a non‑systemic surfactant that works locally in the gut, unlike some antispasmodics that act on smooth muscle. This mechanism provides rapid gas relief with minimal systemic exposure, making it a preferred choice for infants.
What are the storage requirements for Infacol?+
Infacol should be stored below 25 °C, in its original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keeping the product at a stable room temperature helps maintain its stability and effectiveness.
How is Infacol administered to an infant?+
Infacol is given orally as a liquid suspension, usually measured with the supplied dropper or dosing syringe. The dose is administered directly into the infant’s mouth, following the prescriber’s instructions for frequency and amount.
What are the most serious risks associated with Infacol?+
Serious risks, though rare, include allergic reactions such as hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. If any signs of severe hypersensitivity or respiratory distress occur, medical attention should be sought immediately.
Who should not use Infacol?+
Infacol should not be used in infants with a known hypersensitivity to simeticone or any of the product’s excipients. It should also be avoided in children for whom a healthcare professional has not prescribed it.
