Colicaid EZ Drops 15 ml is a digestive aid primarily used to treat digestive disorders. It effectively treats dyspepsia (indigestion), diarrhoea, colic pain in infants due to indigestion and poor appetite, flatulence (gas), and abdominal distention (bloating and swelling in the stomach area). Indigestion is the inability to digest food that is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.

Colicaid EZ Drops 15 ml contains Diastase, Pepsin, and Simethicone. Diastase is a starch hydrolysing enzyme that breaks down the starch into simple sugars for easy digestion of starch, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme (protein-digesting) that breaks down larger protein molecules into smaller peptides (a short chain of amino acids). Simethicone lowers the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.

Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme (protein-digesting) that breaks down larger protein molecules into smaller peptides (a short chain of amino acids).
