Product Information

Mintec relaxes spasm in the muscle of the bowel wall and helps restore normal bowel contractions. This helps to decrease the trapping of air and other bowel Neonates, infants born prematurely, those with low birth weight, those with an unstable gastrointestinal function or who have serious illnesses may require special consideration. For any infant, if a drug is prescribed to the nursing mother, it should be at the lowest practical dose and for the shortest time. When drug administration is unavoidable and breastfeeding is to continue, minimisation of exposure of the infant to the drug may sometimes be achieved by timing the maternal doses to just after a feeding episode. Infants exposed to drugs via breast milk should be monitored for unusual signs or symptoms. Interactions between the drug received by the infant from the mother's milk and medication prescribed for the infant should also be considered, for example, when the drug given to the infant may prevent metabolism of the drug received via breast milk. The peppermint oil acts directly on the smooth muscle in the bowel wall, causing it to relax. This helps reduce painful spasms and pressure in the bowel and eases bloating and wind.
