Carmicide Paediatric Liquid 100ml

Carmicide Liquid is used for the following:

• Easing intestinal colic pain in children: This medicine helps soothe and manage the discomfort your child might feel due to colic.

• Managing flatulence in children: It reduces the excessive accumulation of gas in your child's gastrointestinal tract.

• Assisting digestion in children: By neutralising stomach acid, this medicine aids your child's digestion process.

Here's how you should give Carmicide Liquid to your child:

• Before each use, shake the bottle well to ensure the medicine is evenly mixed.

• Use a spoon or measuring cup to measure out the correct dose.

• It's best to administer this medicine after meals and at bedtime, as it can help with digestion.

• If needed, you can follow up with a sip of water to help your child swallow the medicine.

• Remember to consult your doctor for any specific directions related to your child's condition.

Carmicide Liquid is given orally.

Carmicide Liquid contains two active ingredients which work together to alleviate symptoms:

• Sodium Citrate (70 mg): This compound reacts with hydrogen ions from stomach acid upon ingestion, forming weakly ionised citric acid and raising intragastric pH levels. This decreases acidity and helps soothe discomfort. Moreover, sodium citrate is absorbed and metabolised into sodium bicarbonate, acting as an alkaliser within the body's system. This process optimises digestive functions and reduces symptoms such as colic and flatulence in children.

• Citric Acid (35 mg): Working alongside sodium citrate, citric acid also contributes to reducing stomach acidity by neutralising it. The result is a less acidic environment within your child's stomach which helps relieve discomfort associated with excess gas or bloating.

Together, these ingredients create a beneficial impact on your child's digestive health by managing intestinal colic, flatulence, and aiding digestion effectively.

• Keep Carmicide Liquid in a cool, dry place.

• Make sure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use.

• Protect this medicine from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Always keep it out of reach of children.

• Try to ensure your child has a balanced diet with enough fruits and vegetables. This helps promote healthy digestion, aiding the work of Carmicide Liquid in managing colic and flatulence.

• Encourage your child to drink water regularly. Proper hydration can assist in preventing constipation and promoting smoother digestion.
