It is a well-known acid neutralizer and likely plays a key role in relieving colic symptoms if excess acid is at least partially responsible for the symptoms being experienced.

While there is no interaction between Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water and the drug in question here, it is important to note that Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water does have some theoretical ones with other drugs simply based on the fact that two herbals in the product, ginger, and fennel, can affect the metabolism and/or effects of some substances.
