The doctor prescribed Vinpoven to a 3.5-year-old boy with autism and lack of speech. 1 tab per day. I'm a little scared, because the leaflet is not recommended for children. Is this dose safe for the child?

According to the manufacturer's recommendations, Vinpoven should not be used in children. It happens that a doctor, based on clinical practice, recommends drugs outside the manufacturer's indications - this is the so-called "off-label" use, i.e. off-label. In this case, it is your doctor who determines the right dose for you and should inform you of the possible risks and expected benefits of this treatment. We wrote more about the use of the "off-label" drug in the article:

If you have any doubts about the recommended treatment, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. You can use e.g. teleconsultation via the m.in portal Gdziepolek.pl:

I have attached a link to check the availability of the drug and make a reservation at the pharmacy of your choice:
