Infants’ Friend Oral Liquid is Australia’s Number One colic and wind medicine for baby colic relief. Distributed Australia-wide, Infants’ Friend Oral Liquid has been a household name for more than eighty years and has been used with great success.

Infants’ Friend Oral Liquid is a professional medicine, although prescription is not required, a number of pediatricians throughout Australia are actually recommending Infants’ Friend Oral Liquid to nursing mothers with infants suffering from colic and wind. The product contains no scheduled drugs, and is basically a mixture of healthy aromatic and carminative oils and antacids. This means that the Oral Liquid is extremely well tolerated, and given the small dosages required, is great value for money.

Infants’ Friend Oral Liquid is an ‘old style’ recipe that was initially developed by a chemist, utilising ingredients that were known to settle colic and wind in babies. From there, its popularity has grown to the point where “Infants’ Friend” has become a household name.

This popular baby colic relief medicine is extremely safe to use and has no known side effects and is registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the regulatory agency for pharmaceuticals in Australia.

How Does It Work

The three Essential Oils listed on the label are Cassia – which is Cinnamon, Aniseed, and Dill. These oils contain aromatic and carminative properties which result in a pleasant taste and which also relieves wind and flatulence. Other active ingredients such as Magnesium Carbonate (similar to the ‘Milk of Magnesia’ from the old days) and Ammonium Bicarbonate are antacids which neutralise any excess acid. A property of the Magnesium Carbonate is that it has a slight laxative effect. This has been the same formula for over 80 years, and it is well tolerated and usually works.
