Colief Infant Drops, 15ml

Colief Infant Drops are a lactase enzyme supplement for babies, designed to help relieve colic symptoms caused by temporary lactose intolerance.

By breaking down lactose in breast milk or formula, Colief helps reduce gas, bloating, and discomfort, making feeding more comfortable and reducing excessive crying.

Suitable from birth, Colief Infant Drops are available from Dock Pharmacy, a trusted GPhC-registered UK pharmacy, with pharmacist support.

Colief Infant Drops are a digestive enzyme supplement containing lactase, used to reduce lactose content in infant milk feeds.

They are commonly used to manage infant colic, particularly when symptoms are linked to temporary lactose intolerance, which can occur in newborns due to immature digestive systems.

How Colief Infant Drops Works 

Colief works by replacing the natural enzyme lactase, which some babies temporarily lack.

Step-by-Step Mechanism:

Lactose Breakdown

Lactase enzyme breaks lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and galactose, which are easier to digest.

Reduced Fermentation

Undigested lactose can ferment in the gut, producing gas. Colief helps prevent this process.

Improved Digestion

This reduces symptoms such as:

bloating

wind

abdominal discomfort

Relief from Colic Symptoms

With improved digestion, babies may experience less crying and feeding discomfort.

Colief Infant Drops 15ml provide gentle support for babies experiencing colic linked to lactose digestion difficulties.

They work by adding lactase enzyme to milk feeds, helping break down lactose and reduce symptoms such as:

wind and gas

bloating

excessive crying

Suitable for newborns
