Question 1

What is lactase?

Accepted Answer

Lactase is an enzyme found in the small intestine. The sole role of lactase is to break down lactose into two sugars, glucose and lactose, so that it can be absorbed by the body.

Question 2

Which are the ingredients of Delictase?

Accepted Answer

Delictase contains only lactase, water and glycerine (bulking agent).

Question 3

How can lactase help my baby or child?

Accepted Answer

Delictase is indicated in cases of lactose malabsorption. Infantile colic and gastroenteritis/ diarrhea are such cases.
For baby colic, one of the most common causes is transient lactose intolerance due to inadequate lactase production in infants during the first months of life. 
In the case of gastroenteritis/ diarrhea, lactase is gradually destroyed during them, resulting in lactose intolerance.
Delictase, by providing the appropriate amount of lactase, helps to break down and absorb lactose and subsequently to stop both colic and diarrhea!

Question 4

How fast does Delictase act?

Accepted Answer

The Delictase has immediate effect as it acts directly on the cause of both colic and diarrhea. In particular, you should see a significant improvement within the first 48 hours, always following the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist.
However, if you do not see this result, do not stop using Delictase without the consent of a health professional as the baby or child may need either more time or a greater amount of lactase. Do not forget that every human body is different!!

Question 10

What if colic does not stop with the use of Delictase?

Accepted Answer

Although extremely rare, as it may happen with all products, Delictase may not work for everyone.
First, make sure the dosage and way of administration are appropriate.
Then contact your doctor or pharmacist as the baby or child may need either more time or more lactase. Do not forget that every human body is different!!

Question 11

Can I use Delictase with other products or medicines?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Delictase does not interact with any other product or medicine. However, it is advisable to always consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Question 12

Can Delictase help if my baby is allergic to cow's milk protein?

Accepted Answer

Allergy to cow's milk protein is a serious problem that needs special treatment.
Delictase cannot help directly with cow's milk protein allergy as its role is to break down lactose - which is a carbohydrate.
However, an allergy to cow's milk protein often causes transient lactose intolerance and therefore Delictase can help with its absorption. 
It is recommended to always consult your doctor or pharmacist.
