Is it possible to use Structum in a 12-year-old child?
Should I give structum 500 to a child who has reached the age of 12? The drug was prescribed by a pediatrician rheumatologist. The doctor knew how old the child was and I read in the leaflet that he had been intended for 18 years?

The doctor, based on his knowledge and the latest research, may recommend the use of the drug contrary to the provisions in the leaflet. This is the so-called "off-label" treatment, about which you can read more here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami The record on the use of Structum from the age of 18, results from the lack of scientific evidence for the positive effects of chondroitin sulfate (the active ingredient of the drug Structum) in children and adolescents. This medicine has not been shown to be harmful to children.
