Coloxyl Infant Drops is a gentle Stool Softener for the relief of constipation in babies and children up to 3 years of age. It contains a stool softener which works by drawing water into the stool, making it softer and easier to pass. This softening process happens gradually and can take 2-3 days.
Coloxyl Infant Drops should be given 3 times daily and can be administered in water or fruit juice if necessary.
Dosage by age:
Use syringe provided to measure the dose accurately.
Gently pull back the plunger until the syringe fills to the mark that corresponds to the dose for your child. The mark should line up with the top of the surface of the barrel rim. Always wash the dosing syringe in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly before allowing to air dry after each use.
