Afrab Gripe Water For Colic 100ml
Afrab Gripe Water is a trusted oral liquid remedy manufactured in Nigeria by Afrab-Chem Limited. It is specifically formulated to provide gentle relief for gastrointestinal discomfort in infants and young children.
Key Benefits
- Relief from Colic: Helps soothe the persistent crying and discomfort associated with infant colic.
- Expels Trapped Gas: Acts as a carminative to help babies expel wind (flatulence) easily.
- Eases Stomach Upsets: Provides relief from minor digestive issues and stomach spasms.
Active Ingredients
Each 5 mL dose contains:
- Sodium Bicarbonate (50 mg): A mild antacid that neutralizes excess stomach acid.
- Dill Oil (0.0025 mg): A natural carminative that helps relax the digestive tract.

How It Works
Afrab Gripe Water uses a dual-action formula. The Dill oil and Ginger work together to help the baby's digestive system release trapped air bubbles, while Sodium Bicarbonate neutralizes acidity that can cause discomfort. This combination helps calm the baby and provides quick relief from "pepperish" or gassy sensations.
