Bebinos
Bebinos is a herbal preparation for eliminating flatulence, used in pediatric practice. Eliminates spasms, prevents the development of inflammation, and has a weak antibacterial effect. Normalizes the functions of the gastrointestinal tract. Developed by the German pharmaceutical company Dentinox. The formulation of the drug is represented by liquid extracts of fennel and chamomile that complement each other, as well as coriander extract, which contains a whole “bouquet” of essential oils and is obtained from the fruits of this plant. Chamomile extract exhibits antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. It eliminates pain, relieves spasms, and ensures the evacuation of gases from the intestines. Chamomile has proven effectiveness in allergic diseases. The liquid extract of this plant normalizes bile formation and activates the secretory function of the digestive organs. Fennel extract, in turn, normalizes contractions of the intestinal walls, due to which the contents move, stimulates digestive processes, facilitates the evacuation of gases from the intestines, and eliminates spastic contractions of smooth muscles. Returning to coriander, it is necessary to note its choleretic properties, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and carminative effects. The pharmacotherapeutic course of the drug helps restore the performance of the digestive system, eliminate increased gas formation, pain and spasms during intestinal colic. Bebinos is available in oral drops, which makes dosing convenient. The drug is in demand in the treatment of functional digestive disorders in children, starting from a very early age.
In our country, this drug has not yet received the same wide distribution as abroad. Bebinos is prescribed for any non-infectious dyspeptic disorders, as well as for complete (or 2/3) replacement of breast milk with artificial milk formulas in a child’s diet. A contraindication to the use of Bebinos is hypersensitivity to one or more components of the drug. Directions for use: mix a measured dose of drops with a few milliliters of water or tea. The frequency of use in children of all ages is 3 times a day. Children under one year old take 3-6 drops, from one year to 6 years old - 6-10, over 6 years old - 10-15 drops. It is recommended to shake the bottle vigorously before measuring the required dose of drops. A small amount of sediment at the bottom of the bottle before shaking does not indicate poor quality of the drug. The effectiveness and safety of Bebinos has been confirmed in clinical studies, which have shown that the drug is well tolerated even by the smallest patients in the first months of life and effectively eliminates functional disorders of the digestive tract. The use of this drug eliminated the symptoms of digestive disorders (intestinal colic, constipation, regurgitation, flatulence) or led to a decrease in the frequency of their episodes. In children with constipation, the frequency of bowel movements increased, and the stool became softer in consistency. Cases of drug overdose were not recorded. The active ingredients of the drug do not enter into pharmacological interactions with other drugs. Bebinos does not contain sugars or food preservatives.

It is worth noting that due to the ethyl alcohol in Bebinos, it is not recommended for use before 6 months, while Bebicalm can be given from birth.
