You can also use refresh as a second parameter:

$this->info_model->add_record($data);
redirect('controllerName/methodName','refresh');

You could use the redirect() function from the URL Helper to actually redirect the user
(http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/helpers/url_helper.html)

Like this: 

$this->load->helper('url');
redirect('/some/other/page');

Note that this has to be called before any data is outputted to the browser.

Another way of doing it is to simply have two different views that you load depending on the context. Normally you want some form validation as well so you can use that to direct the user. I usually end up with something like this in my function, which is used both for posting the data, inserting it to the database and "redirecting":

$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'required|trim|xss_clean');
/* More validation */

if ($this->form_validation->run() !== FALSE) {
    $data = array(
     'name' => $this->input->post('name'),
     'second_name' => $this->input->post('second_name'),
     'phone' => $this->input->post('phone'),
     'email' => $this->input->post('email'),  
     );
    $this->info_model->add_record($data);

    $this->load->view('some_other_view');
} else {
    $this->load->view('info_view');
}

If all you need is a simple redirect upon submission of the form:

$this->info_model->add_record($data);
redirect('controller/method');
