ATX code A0ZA X13.
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics.
Simethicone, which is part of the drug, is a non-toxic inert surfactant made on the basis of silicon, is an antifoam. It changes the surface tension of gas bubbles formed in the intestine and causes their destruction. The gases released in this case can be either absorbed by the intestinal walls or excreted from the body due to intestinal peristalsis. The use of simethicone before the start of diagnostic studies of the abdominal cavity prevents the appearance of image defects caused by gas bubbles; promotes thorough irrigation of the colon mucosa with a contrast agent, which prevents rupture of the contrast film even in the case of intestinal distension.
Pharmacokinetics.
Simethicone acts exclusively on the surface of gas bubbles and is not absorbed by the mucous membrane of the digestive tract. Simethicone is not absorbed by the mucous membrane of the digestive tract and is excreted unchanged after oral administration. Simethicone has no central action.
Indication
Symptomatic treatment of gastrointestinal disorders associated with gas formation, for example, flatulence, including in the postoperative period, colic in infants.
As an aid in conducting diagnostic examinations of the abdominal organs (radiography, ultrasound) and in preparation for gastroduodenoscopy.
As an antifoam for intoxications with surfactants (washing powders or other detergents).
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to the drug and its components.
Intestinal obstruction.
Obstructive diseases of the digestive tract.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions
Levothyroxine may bind to simethicone. The absorption of levothyroxine in the intestine may be impaired when taken simultaneously with simethicone.
Application features
If complaints recur or if digestive tract complaints persist, you should consult a doctor.
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
There are no clinical data on the use of the drug Kolikid® in pregnant women. Since the active ingredient is not absorbed by the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, no effect of the drug on the fetus or accumulation of the drug in breast milk should be expected.
The use of the drug Kolikid® during pregnancy or breastfeeding is possible only when the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus or child.
Ability to influence reaction speed when driving vehicles or other mechanisms
Since simethicone is an inert substance that is not absorbed, the effect on driving or other mechanisms is practically excluded.
Method of administration and doses
Children under 1 year of age: 0.5-1 ml.
Add Colicid® to the baby food bottle at each feeding or with a small spoon, give before or after breastfeeding.
Children aged 1-6 years: 1 ml.

To prepare for diagnostic studies of the abdominal cavity:
X-ray examinations, ultrasound diagnostics
| Age | Dosage and frequency of use |
| The day before the study | On the morning of the study day |
| Children | 1 ml 3 times a day | 1 ml once |
| Adults | 2 ml 3 times a day | 2 ml once |
To prepare for gastroduodenoscopy
| Age | Dosage and frequency of use |
| Before performing an endoscopy | During endoscopy |
| Adults | 4-8 ml once | If necessary, inject a few milliliters of suspension through the endoscope channel to eliminate gas bubbles that interfere with the examination. |
As an antifoam for surfactant intoxications (depending on the severity of the poisoning)
Age | Dosage |
| Children | From 2.5 to 10 ml |
| Adults | From 10 to 20 ml |
The contents of the bottle should be shaken well before use. A 2 ml plastic disposable syringe without a needle can be used to measure doses. The drug should be taken during or after meals, and if necessary, before bedtime.

If gastrointestinal disturbances recur and/or persist, a clinical examination should be performed.
