Britain Advises Caution on Infant Colic Treatments
The UK's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued a warning against using certain colic and rectal suppository products for infants, citing insufficient evidence of their effectiveness and potential risks. While crying, bloating from gas, or colic are common in infants during the early months, the agency recommends against using these products without medical supervision to avoid injury or delays in diagnosing other health conditions. It emphasized that using rectal suppositories without a medical recommendation could lead to internal injuries or serious complications. However, this warning does not apply to the suppositories used by doctors in specific cases under professional supervision.
