Prescription RequiredYour child’s medicine at a glance
Colimex Suspension helps treat stomach pain, bloating, and abdominal cramps caused due to acidity, gas, infections, or diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in children. It works by relaxing the muscles of the gut and absorbing extra gas. Colimex Suspension also helps control the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
Give the prescribed dose of Colimex Suspension to your child orally after a meal or as suggested by the doctor. Your child’s doctor may prescribe this medicine for a few days to many days. Do not abruptly stop the medicine by yourself, as it may bring back the symptoms or worsen your child’s condition.
Some common side effects of this medicine include nausea, dryness in the mouth, dizziness, and vision problems. If these occur, they will subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. In case these side effects do not improve or become bothersome for your child, reach out to the doctor on a priority basis.
You must let your child’s doctor know about all the medicines your child is being given. Also, inform the doctor of any previous history of allergy, intolerance to any food products, abdominal obstruction, liver impairment, kidney malfunction, or any birth defects. This information is very important for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

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. Usually, it is used as an add-on medicine along with other medicines that are given for the management of your child’s condition. Continue giving it to your child for as long as the doctor may advise you to.
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.

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, dimethicone disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.
