Lefax Pump Liquid, 50 ml

Description

When infants suffer from gas, the entire family suffers.Flatulence in babies in the first months of life can progress to cramps (infant colic).It is not uncommon for abdominal pain to be accompanied by violent screaming attacks that last for hours.This is normal, but can be very worrying and stressful for parents.When you drink, you always swallow air - sometimes more, sometimes less - and it enters your stomach along with the milk.The contact between milk and air creates a viscous, fine-bubble foam.Since the infant's digestive system often does not yet function smoothly, this foam may not be dissolved.The foam bubbles then travel into the intestines and cause abdominal pain.

Lefax® Pump-Liquid is ideal for flatulence in babies - with Lefax® the air bubbles in the stomach dissolve reliably and painlessly.With the practical dosing pump, handling is also safe and easy.Lefax® Pump-Liquid can also be used for the symptomatic treatment of infant colic (3-month colic).Lefax® Pump-Liquid is alcohol-free, coloring-free, sugar-free and lactose-free.

Areas of application

Lefax® Pump-Liquid Suspension is a defoaming medicine.It is used for excessive gas formation and gas accumulation in the gastrointestinal area (meteorism) with gastrointestinal complaints such as flatulence, a feeling of fullness and a feeling of tension in the upper abdomen.It is also used for the symptomatic treatment of infant colic (3-month colic), for increased gas formation after operations and for the preparation of diagnostic examinations in the abdominal area to reduce gas shadows (sonography, x-rays).It can be used as an immediate measure in the event of poisoning with liquid soaps (surfactants).

Mode of action

The active ingredient Simeticon contained in Lefax® Pump-Liquid works directly in the intestine and has a purely physical effect.It is not absorbed into the body, but leaves it unchanged.Simeticon causes the foam created during digestion, which is responsible for the symptoms, to break down.This allows the released air to leave the baby bump through a burp or via the rectum.
