Hello Our child 10 years old has tics and assigned Arpixor 5mg previously Rispolept . He is currently assigned Fevarin 2 tablets a day and 1 tablet of Arpixor. Aren't these drugs too strong for a 10-year-old? We are looking for information, but each time only that the drugs are not used in children .... But a psychiatrist attributed them to us

Arpixor 5 mg has not been approved as a psychogenic cough medicine. Arpixor contains aripiprazole, which is an antipsychotic medicine used to treat schizophrenia, manic episodes and other affective disorders.
Psychogenic cough is usually the result of psychological factors, and treatment primarily involves the identification and management of psychological factors that contribute to the cough and behaviorist, relaxation or psychoeducation therapy.
If you have problems with cough and believe that it is related to psychological factors, I encourage you to consult a specialist. Your doctor can perform an evaluation to identify the causes of your cough and recommend appropriate treatment, including psychotherapeutic approaches if they deem it appropriate.
If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

As a pharmacist, I cannot give individual medical advice or substitute for a doctor's opinion. I can only give general information on the use of medicines in children. In child and adolescent psychiatry, many drugs do not have registration for use in people under 18 years of age. In some cases, the doctor may also order the preparation in other disease entities, if he knows that such a procedure may bring health benefits to the patient. It then uses "off-label" drugs, i.e. outside the manufacturer's indications. We wrote more about it here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami Arpixor is a drug with many indications: In Europe and Poland, this drug has been registered in adolescents over 13 years of age. In the United States, it is registered for the treatment of acute and chronic phase schizophrenia in the age group 13-17 years, as well as for the treatment of mania and mixed states in patients aged 10-17 years, in addition to the treatment of irritability in children with autism aged 6-17 years. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/106176/arpixor-tabletki/apteki?pvid=257175#internetowe Fevarin is registered in children from 8 years of age m.in for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/29697/fevarin-tabletki-powlekane/apteki?pvid=38349#stacjonarne The action and composition of individual drugs can be checked by clicking on the attached links on the gdziepolek.pl website, which also allows you to book them at the nearest pharmacy. Please remember that psychotropic drugs should be used as part of a holistic therapy, usually combined with psychotherapy, carried out under constant medical supervision. Only the proper use of psychiatric drugs - in appropriate doses and under the constant supervision of an experienced doctor - makes them a means that effectively help to restore patients to normal life.
