Sometimes the doctor decides to prescribe a drug to the child, which is intended for an older age group, if his knowledge and experience shows that such a procedure is rational and safe. Such therapy is called off-label and is a relatively common procedure in pediatrics: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami From a pharmaceutical point of view, I cannot give further recommendations, because off-label therapy always remains a method for which the doctor is fully responsible. Sometimes there are simply no other treatments available suitable for children, or such methods have been exhausted. If you are concerned, it is best to talk to your doctor directly or, alternatively, seek advice from another specialist. I enclose additional information about the drug Flunarizinum - prescription preparations can be reserved at GdziePoLek and collected stationary upon presentation of the prescription: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/30634/flunarizinum-wzf-tabletki/apteki/w-warszawie
