At what age is it prescribed?
Granules are allowed to be given to children from 1 year old. For babies and newborns, such a remedy is not prescribed. Patients over one year old should be prescribed by a doctor, because such a drug is usually included in the whole complex of treatment.

How to use?
To get the desired positive effect from using Kindinorm, should take into account the peculiarities of its reception.
- It is recommended to slowly dissolve the granules in the oral cavity. If the child is very small, the drug can be dissolved in a teaspoon of water, and then give the baby the mixture to drink. Usually this method is chosen for patients 1-3 years old.
- Do not give the pellets with meals. It is best to offer the drug to the child half an hour before a meal. If the patient has just eaten, the appointment is postponed for 30 minutes.
- The frequency of taking the drug is three times a day. The duration of use is at least 6 weeks. If no improvement is observed after 4 weeks of taking, you need to show the child to a doctor.
- As for single doses, usually the child is given as many granules as he is. However, this dose calculation is only suitable for patients under 10 years of age. For example, if a child is 6 years old, he needs six pellets at one time. If the patient is already 10 years old, then a single dose for him will be 10 granules, regardless of age (both at 10 and at 11-12 years and older).
