  • Patient information:

     Relief. Pure & Simple. Thank you for choosing Colic Calm, the first homeopathic gripe water for the treatment of colic, gas and upset stomach. Our product has been used by
    more than a million babies…and counting. In fact, it is recommended by
    pediatricians, natural health care practitioners, and pharmacists.
    Colic Calm is:
    • Safe, gentle and effective
    • Non-habit forming
    • A smart alternative to conventional drugs
    What is the purpose of Colic Calm?
    Colic Calm homeopathic medicine provides relief for discomfort from gas, colic, upset stomach, and even hiccups in infants. Importantly, Colic Calm is made according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for
    over-the-counter homeopathic medicines.
    Is Colic Calm safe for my baby?
    Colic Calm is a combination of eight homeopathic remedies, each of which has a long history of safe use. The proprietary formula is non-habit forming and does NOT contain sugar, sodium bicarbonate, simethicone, herbal oils, soy, dairy, wheat, gluten, animal products, artificial flavors or colors.
    What makes Colic Calm different from other colic preparations?
    The active ingredients in Colic Calm provide multi-symptom relief to quickly soothe baby’s digestive system. According to the principles of homeopathy, each dose gently stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself, as opposed to merely suppressing symptoms.
    How long does Colic Calm take to work?
    Most babies experience relief with their first dose of Colic Calm. However, some may take longer before showing noticeable improvement. We recommend giving Colic Calm up to one week to fully work its wonders. Keep in mind that many babies simply have trouble calming down once the crying cycle has begun, so it is recommended to administer Colic Calm at the first signs of discomfort.
    We encourage you to email us at customercare@coliccalm.com or call us at (941) 203-4590 for helpful customized suggestions that can make a difference.
    What are the directions for use?
    At the first signs of digestive discomfort, shake glass bottle to obtain a uniform dark mixture. Fill enclosed oral dispenser and dispense liquid slowly, drop-by-drop, into mouth, between cheek and gums. Do not dispense faster than baby can comfortably swallow. If needed, repeat once every 60 minutes for up to 3 doses, or as directed by a physician. Do not exceed the equivalent of 4 full doses for the appropriate weight category per day. Carefully recap bottle, clean oral dispenser and let air-dry after each use.
    What if my baby spits up Colic Calm?
    Some spitting up is normal. One factor is temperature. Some babies’ stomachs are sensitive to cooler liquids, so Colic Calm at room temperature could be unsettling. Colic Calm may be added to a small amount (1 or 2 ounces) of warmed formula or pumped breast milk to raise temperature and change the taste and texture back to something familiar. Every baby is different, so a little trial and error is sometimes needed. It is best to avoid giving Colic Calm immediately after feeding if baby’s stomach is full, as spit-up may occur from the added pressure.
    Can my baby take other medications while using Colic Calm?
    As with all medications, it is important to ensure that your doctor is aware of the use of this product. Always check with your doctor if your baby is taking other medications or has been treated for health concerns.
    * Claims based on traditional homeopathic practice, not accepted medical evidence.
    Not FDA evaluated.
    If other medications are being used, allow a two-hour window between the other medication and Colic Calm, so that the effects of the other medication are not lessened.
    Does Colic Calm have any side effects?
    There are no known contraindications to any of the active ingredients in Colic Calm. However, it is always advised that you check with your doctor before introducing any product.
    You may notice a temporary, harmless, darkening of the stool. This occurs because Colic Calm uses a form of carbon called Carbo Vegetabilis (vegetable charcoal). This pure, naturally-derived, non-carcinogenic vegetable charcoal makes Colic Calm black in color. Vegetable charcoal does not enter the bloodstream, and passes out of the body naturally and easily, along with the gas and toxins it has collected on its journey through the digestive tract.
    What is the best way to get out stains?
    Colic Calm’s rich dark color is as Mother Nature intended, without any “pretty” coloring to alter its purity and efficacy. While the microfine particles of vegetable charcoal do not contain any dye, they can get lodged in fabrics and may require gentle manipulation to loosen. This is why we have included a stain warning on bottle and box.
    We find that stains lift out easily with most spray stain removers. It is best to treat stains promptly. For stubborn stains, try pre-spotting with dishwashing liquid before washing. Many parents keep bibs and rags handy, so that stain removal doesn’t become an issue.
    Can Colic Calm be used for anything other than colic?
    Yes. Colic Calm is helpful in easing pain associated with stomach upset. Many toddlers and older children benefit from stomach ache relief with Colic Calm. Colic Calm can also provide relief for flatulence and bloating from gas. In addition, a great number of parents swear by Colic Calm for effective treatment of hiccups.
    How long should each bottle last?
    Each bottle contains (47) ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) doses for babies under 20 lbs. or (24) ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) doses for those over 20 lbs. Some children require more doses than others, depending on the frequency of their symptoms. Discard bottle within 8 weeks after opening.
    How do I store Colic Calm?
    This product should be stored at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Because there is no need for refrigeration, Colic Calm is also ideal for traveling away from home.
    Why does my baby sleep soundly and longer after taking
    Colic Calm?
    Peaceful sleep often follows naturally after relief. There are no narcotic, sedative or habit-forming ingredients in Colic Calm.
    What is “colic”?
    Colic is defined as inconsolable crying that lasts for more than 3 hours per day for at least 3 days per week. Colic is a self-limiting condition that typically resolves by 3-4 months of age. Most experts point to gastrointestinal discomfort as the cause, due to the immaturity of a baby’s digestive system:
    i. “Intestinal hyperperistalsis is one part of the clinical picture in infantile colic:• - Motilin, Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide and Gastrin in Infantile Colic by L. Lothe, MD, S. A. lvarsson, MD, and T. Lindberg
    ii. “various factors act in tandem, leading to disturbances in infant gastrointestinal motility that manifests clinically as colic:’ - Is colic a gastrointestinal disorder? by Gupta, Sandeep K., M.D.
    iii. “Observation of colicky infants has suggested a gastrointestinal origin for this discomfort.” - Efficacy of herbal tea preparation in infantile colic by Zvi Weizman, MD, Soliman Alkrinawi, M.D., Dan Goldfarb , M.D., and Chaim Bitran, M.D
    ** All active ingredients are derived from natural sources. Homeopathy and Dilutions
    The homeopathic ingredients in Colic Calm are diluted either to 1X or 3X potency. A 1X dilution is obtained by mixing 1 part of the medicinal ingredient with 9 parts of a neutral diluting agent then vigorously shaking the solution (succession). The 3X is obtained by repeating this dilution and succession process 3 times. Six of the eight active ingredients in Colic Calm operate according to homeopathic principles at a 3X potency, 1 part per 1,000, or 0.1%. This level of dilution is found in some non-homeopathic pharmaceuticals in use today. Drugs such as Ergocalciferol, are much more diluted than 1 part per 1000.
    Unlike most drugs, homeopathic products are not subject to pre-market approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not reviewed by the FDA.
    Activated Charcoal
    Colic Calm derives its rich black color from Carbo Vegetabilis 1X (also known as activated charcoal or medicinal carbon). A 1X dilution is a dilution of one part per 10. The activated charcoal in Colic Calm is prepared according to HPUS methods. Charcoal has been used safely in medicinal applications for thousands of years.
    The activated charcoal in Colic Calm relieves the bloating and abdominal discomfort attributable to gaseousness in colicky babies. Charcoal’s efficacy in adsorbing gases and toxins in the digestive system has been established in several studies and medical texts including:
    Each dose of Colic Calm contains amounts of activated charcoal corresponding to the amounts used in these efficacy studies, adjusting for the size of the baby.

Always consult your doctor concerning your baby’s health condition and the use of this or any other medicine.
