SMA® Anti-Reflux
Food for special medical purposes. For the dietary management of reflux and regurgitation. Suitable from birth. This formula should be used under medical supervision.
SCIENCE INSPIRED BY NATURE
SMA® Anti-Reflux is a nutritionally complete formula for the dietary management of formula-fed babies with significant reflux (regurgitation/spitting up). It can be used as the sole source of nutrition from birth in place of your usual formula feed, and can be mixed with foods once weaning has begun. Reflux often occurs because a baby’s digestive system is immature.
SMA® Anti-Reflux contains a unique combination of starch and 100% whey, partially hydrolysed protein for the dietary management of reflux and regurgitation. You may notice a change in baby’s stool when changing to SMA® Anti-Reflux. This is due to the different ingredients and is normal.
Easier preparation.
Thickened formula may require a fast flow-teat
OUR FORMULAS HAVE BEEN UPDATED
We have recently updated our specials formulas in line with the UK and EU legislation (EU Regulation 2016/128). This means the nutritional composition requirements for formulas will change, and all manufacturers will have to update their formulas. But we know any change big or small even when for the better, can cause concern when it comes to your little human. Baby milks is one of the most heavily regulated and tested food products in the world, and we can assure you that the reformulated milks are safe for babies. We have worked hard to ensure that your baby should not notice any difference between the old and new milks. For more information please visit our FAQs or contact the SMA Careline® who will be happy to chat about the updated formulas.

Important notice
Breast milk is best for babies and breastfeeding should continue for as long as possible. This product must be used under medical supervision. SMA® Anti-Reflux is a special formula intended for the dietary management of bottle-fed babies when significant reflux (regurgitation) is a problem. It is suitable as the sole source of nutrition up to 6 months of age, and in conjunction with solid food up to 12 months of age. If the baby’s reflux does not improve within 2 weeks of starting SMA® Anti-Reflux, or if the baby fails to thrive, the family doctor should be consulted. SMA® Anti-Reflux is not suitable for those who are allergic to cows’ milk protein, lactose intolerant, or who suffer from galactosaemia or require a galactose free diet. When bottle-feeding, do not allow prolonged or frequent contact of milk feeds with teeth as this increases the risk of tooth decay. Ask your healthcare professional or dentist for advice. Always hold your baby while feeding. Do not leave baby unattended as they might choke.
