Benefits of Colimex Suspension for your child
In Treatment of Abdominal pain
Colimex Suspension effectively relieves sudden muscle spasms or contractions in the stomach and intestine (gut), thereby relaxing the muscles and improving the movement of food. This helps to treat abdominal pain (or stomach pain) as well as cramps, bloating, and discomfort. Give Colimex Suspension to your child in the dose and duration as prescribed for maximum benefit.
In Treatment of Irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic (long-term) inflammatory disease of the large intestine (colon) that usually needs long-term management. This can lead to bleeding, frequent diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, cramps, and stomach pain. Colimex Suspension relaxes the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine) and relieves these symptoms effectively.

Continue giving it to your child for as long as the doctor may advise you to.

How Colimex Suspension works
Colimex Suspension is a mixture of two active medicines Dicyclomine, an antispasmodic agent, and Dimethicone, an antifoaming medicine. Dicyclomine works by relaxing the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms), thereby relieving abdominal cramps and pain. Whereas, the antifoaming medicine disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.
