Good morning, can Rupaller be used in children 7 and 10 years old? The drug was prescribed by an allergist.

If your doctor has recommended the use of Rupaler in children, please follow the dosage instructions. It happens that doctors recommend taking medicines differently than according to generally accepted indications, e.g. as in your case of a prepart indicated for use from the age of 12. This is called off-label https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami. Rupatidine (the active substance Rupaller) is used in children from 2 years of age and the dose depends on the patient's body weight and health. I suspect that the doctor, based on knowledge about the health of children, chose the right dose for them and therefore instead of syrup containing ruptidine registered for use from 2 years of age, he chose tablets. If you still have doubts about administering the drug to children, you should consult the doctor ordering Rupaller.
