Coloxyl Drops (poloxamer) is a stool softener designed for use in infants up to 3 years old. The medication increases secretions in the intestines, which softens stools for easier passing. In adults and older children Coloxyl is administered by tablets.

Parents often find it advantageous to buy Coloxyl Drops or similar products when dietary changes are made---transitioning from breast milk to formula, liquids to solids, or introducing new foods can all cause constipation. Though constipation in infants is quite common, medical advice should be sought prior to initiating treatment.

Coloxyl is a popular product in Australia and New Zealand. It's possible to buy Coloxyl drops, tablets and suppositories under a range of other brand names depending on location; in the US, for example, the product is sold as Colace.

A Safe & Gentle Solution

Constipation can refer to increased difficulty in passing stools, reduced frequency of passing stools, or a combination of both. Nearly everyone has experienced constipation at some point and can relate to the discomfort involved.

Parents buy Coloxyl Drops as a safe and gentle solution to constipation in infants. Drops are simply added to regular bottle feedings, fruit juice, water or other beverages. The medication stimulates the colon to increase fluid secretions, which softens stools, without producing equally uncomfortable side effects.

Coloxyl is extremely unlikely to cause side effects if used properly; it is even safe enough to be used to treat constipation during pregnancy. The most common side effects are flatulence and mild abdominal discomfort. Used in high doses or for a long time, it may cause diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

Allergies are a common concern when treating infants; Coloxyl is safe for use in those with the most common allergies:

Active ingredient: Poloxamer

Inactive ingredients: Ethanol, glycerol, purified water, sorbic acid, caramel and milk chocolate flavoring

Coloxyl does not contain: Gluten, lactose, dairy, nuts or nut products, egg, soy

Using Coloxyl Drops

Coloxyl drops are easy to use. As mentioned above, the drops are added to the infant's bottle or mixed with a beverage. Each vial of Coloxyl contains 30 mL of medication. A syringe is included for accurate measuring.

Dosage depends on age:

• Under 6 months - 0.3 mL three times per day.
• 6 to 18 months - 0.5 mL three times per day.
• 18 months to 3 years - 0.8 mL three times per day.
• Over 3 years - use Coloxyl tablets instead.

Coloxyl drops may be used as-needed, but should not be used daily over the long term. If constipation is not cleared up within a few days or if abdominal discomfort becomes severe, a doctor should be consulted. Chronic constipation may be a symptom of a more serious problem.
