A member asked:
Is gripe water the same as mylicon drops for babies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The chemistries are different. The gas drops are supposed to break down the bubbles to pass in an easier fashion. Gripe contains a number of products traditionally used to calm the baby, in small quantities.Whether it works is not clear, as are the gas drops.
