PRODUCT INFORMATION

What’s The Difference Between Infants’ Mylicon Gas Relief Drops and Children’s Mylicon Tummy Relief?

Infants’ Mylicon Gas Relief Drops work quickly to break down gas bubbles to help your baby naturally expel them by either burping or tooting. They’re safe to give infants—even the newest of newborns—at every feeding, up to 12 times a day. The active ingredient is simethicone, which is not absorbed into your baby’s system.

All-in-One Children’s Mylicon Tummy Relief for Kids chewable tablets and liquid products treat acid indigestion, heartburn, and discomfort from overeating, in addition to gas and bloating. They also contain simethicone, like our #1 doctor-recommended Infants’ Mylicon Gas Relief Drops, in addition to an antacid called calcium carbonate.

What’s in Children’s Mylicon Tummy Relief?

Children’s Mylicon contains simethicone (just like Infants’ Mylicon, the #1 doctor-recommended gas drops brand) and an antacid called calcium carbonate.

How Does It Work?

Children’s Mylicon Tummy Relief contains the same active ingredient (simethicone) as Infants’ Mylicon, the #1 doctor-recommended infant gas relief brand, which quickly breaks down bothersome gas bubbles to help your child naturally expel them. It also contains an antacid called calcium carbonate to quickly relieve other symptoms such as acid indigestion, heartburn, and discomfort from overeating.

STORAGE

How Should I Store Children’s Mylicon Tummy Relief?

To maintain maximum effectiveness, store Mylicon around room temperature (between 68° and 77° F). We don’t recommend using it if it’s stored outside of those parameters.

Any Advice On How To Keep It Out of Children’s Reach?

Although the packaging is child-resistant, you can help keep it out of little hands’ way by storing it in a place they can’t reach. Some children can climb, such as on a toilet or counter—and Children’s Mylicon has a sweet taste—so a locked cabinet is the safest place to store any medicines. Try to remember to put it away after every use. And, dispose of old medicine in a way your child can’t reach it—like by taking it to a medication drop off location such as your local pharmacy.
