It is a product intended for the dietary management of temporary digestive complaints resulting from lactose intolerance in foods for infants. Delicol, available from the online pharmacy in the UK, comes in the form of drops that can be given to babies from birth to 3-4 months of age - including during breastfeeding as well as formula milk. It is a food for special medical use.
Effects:
The drops have a causative effect due to the fact that the lactase (of natural origin from an extract of the fungus Aspergillus Oryzae) contained in the product breaks down the lactose found in milk. In this way, it is better absorbed by the infant. Delicol eliminates the risk of colic discomfort, which has been confirmed by numerous clinical studies.
Ingredients: Maltose, water, sucrose, maltodextrin, lactase, sodium chloride.
Directions for use:
The product should be used after consultation with a doctor and the amount of drops should be administered according to the individual needs of the body. Initially, the minimum dose of the product should be used, and then - in case of lack of effectiveness - the portion should be gradually increased (up to the maximum value from the ranges given). Delicol should be shaken before use.
In the case of breastfeeding, it is necessary to measure the appropriate amount of drops into a teaspoon and give it to the baby for direct consumption, and then continue doing so.
