Hi...at this age, for all formula fed babies, constipation is very common. You need not worry unless the baby has not passed motion for 10 days. Regarding medicines, what ever gas he's having is swallowed air and it doesn't require any medications. Actually such medicines will halt the intestinal motility and may lead to infection.
