How exactly do you fool a baby with a placebo, and what measures have been put in place to determine that Infacol is no better than a placebo? The last sentence of this article smacks of corporatism to me?Goodpaul (talk) 01:48, 26 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

You're missing the point of the placebo. 1) you don't "fool" a baby with a placebo, you "fool" the parents or whoever is determining if the medicine had any effect (because what you're measuring is the perception that the baby improved). 2) a placebo also works as negative control. Infocol is more than just simeticone. It also has orange flavouring and saccharin, so you need to compare the effect against something that also has those (to ensure that you're only measuring the effect of simeticone). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.96.139 (talk) 11:21, 27 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
