Can Nexpram be used in a 16-year-old?

If you are under the age of 18, your doctor may decide to use Nexpram if you think it is necessary. The drug is generally intended for adults, in younger patients there is an increased risk of side effects. There are also no complete studies on the effect of the drug on the growth and development of children. If the drug has been prescribed to a patient under 18 years of age, then it is necessary to carefully observe whether there are no suicide attempts, suicidal thoughts or manifestations of aggression, hostility, increased anger. Their appearance should prompt the caregiver to urgently contact the minor with a doctor. Despite the above remarks, it should be taken into account that untreated mental disorders are unlikely to go away on their own and may also lead to life-threatening consequences. Therefore, the decision to use the drug lies with the psychiatrist, who diagnosed the problem and examined the patient. At the same time, it should be noted that there may not be drugs suitable for the patient's condition that are registered for use in children and adolescents. In such situations, doctors often resort to adult medications if they are the only therapeutic option. More on this topic: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami
