Pharmacist Analysis
Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water is intended to help treat colicky infants and soothe gastrointestinal discomfort.
There is no 'standardized' gripe water formula, but generally, gripe water formulas contain a blend of herbal ingredients. Mommy's Bliss contains the following:
- Organic Fennel Seed
- Organic Ginger Root
- Purified Water
- Vegetable Glycerin
- Citrus Bioflavonoid Extract
- Citric Acid
- Sodium Bicarbonate
- Potassium Sorbate
- Natural Fennel Flavor
It is important to note that Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water contains sodium bicarbonate, which is commonly known as baking soda. 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.

Fulvestrant injection is also used alone or in combination with ribociclib (Kisqali®) to treat hormone receptor positive, advanced breast cancer or breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body in women who have experienced menopause and whose breast cancer has worsened after they were treated with an anti-estrogen medication such as tamoxifen.

This can slow or stop the growth of some breast tumors that need estrogen to grow.
