Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Reflux and regurgitation are common in infants, particularly in the early months as the digestive system develops. In many cases, simple feeding adjustments such as smaller, more frequent feeds or thickening feeds can help manage symptoms.
Carobel works by thickening milk feeds, which may help reduce the frequency of regurgitation. It is not a medicine and does not treat underlying medical conditions, but it can be a useful supportive measure.
It is important to use this product under the guidance of a healthcare professional such as a GP, public health nurse or pharmacist, especially in very young infants. The amount used may need adjustment depending on your baby’s needs and response.
If your baby has persistent vomiting, poor weight gain, distress during feeding, or symptoms such as blood in vomit, seek medical advice promptly.
