I use Hylands Colic tablets now they are completely homeopathic...of course I used it on my kids so its safety for dogs should be double checked.
I know mylicon stopped adding their dye it caused reactions bit its still a simthon base, so why is it safe to give infants (ie less that 5 reported deaths a year) but the exact same amount of the same substance in another area of study is unsafe-boggles me completely. |
Silica gel is the common ingredient.
Silica dust can be deadly if too much is inhaled.
As for Mylecon, Silica gel and dimethyl polysiloxanes (simethicone) are both non toxic.
Any reactions were from allergic responses in humans to simethicone.
I did not read anything that said Mylecon was 'recommended for use in infants'.
It is an ingredient in Bloat Buster, made for dogs.
There are no regulations for homeopathic remedies, so quality and safety may be of issue with them.
