Kolik Drop

Kolik Drop is used to reduce stomach pain due to spasms, cramps, and bloating. Abdominal spasms are the acute condition in which the abdominal muscles (abs), intestine and stomach contract severely. Stomach spasms can be caused by muscle strain, dehydration, stomach gas formation, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, gastritis (stomach inflammation), pregnancy, constipation or other gastrointestinal infections.

Kolik Drop is a combination drug containing Dicyclomine and  Simethicone, primarily taken to relieve period pain, spasmodic abdominal pain, bloating, and general pain-related discomfort of the lower abdomen. Dicyclomine is an antispasmodic agent that reduces spasms and pain by relaxing the muscles and blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing the sensation of pain. On the other hand, Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent that treats bloating and releases stomach gas more efficiently. Together Kolik Drop helps reduce muscle contractions and pain by acting on the intestine's inner lining, allowing gas bubbles to come together, relieving cramps and spasms.

Kolik Drop should only be if your doctor has prescribed you. It can be taken with or without food but at a fixed time for the best results. The course of Kolik Drop course should be completed as your doctor prescribes for better results. Some common side effects of Kolik Drop are dryness in the mouth, dizziness, weakness, nervousness, sleepiness, and nausea. Please consult your doctor if an allergic reaction becomes severe.

Kolik Drop is a combination drug containing Dicyclomine (antispasmodic) and  Simethicone (anti-foaming agent), primarily taken to get relief from period pain, abdominal spasmodic pain, bloating, and general pain-related discomfort of the lower abdomen. Dicyclomine, being an antispasmodic, helps treat spasms and pain by relaxing the muscles. It also blocks certain chemical messengers in the brain, which cause pain sensation, hence relieving pain. Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent; it helps to treat bloating and releases gas more easily. Collectively, both help to reduce abdominal pain caused due to spasms, cramps and gas formation. Kolik Drop can be used both by men and women.
