Is it safe to give Meftal Spas drops three times a day to a two-month-old baby who is crying from stomach pain and having trouble passing stool?

Asked by Female, 2 · 10 days ago

Please do not give Meftal Spas drops to your two-month-old baby. This medication contains dicyclomine, which is not safe for infants under six months old and can cause serious side effects. Stomach pain and difficulty passing stool are common as a baby's digestive system matures. You can try comforting her by gently massaging her tummy in clockwise circles or moving her legs in a bicycling motion to help release trapped gas. Please consult your pediatrician right away to safely evaluate her symptoms and get the correct, infant-safe treatment.
