Always check with your doctor or pharmacist before giving your child any other medicines, including herbal or complementary medicines. A few products do not have a marketing authorisation licence as a medicine and therefore there is no PIL. For example, some manufacturers may recommend, in the patient information leaflet, that a medicine is not given to children aged under 12 years.
In most cases, this is because the manufacturer will recruit adults to clinical trials in the first instance and therefore the initial marketing authorisation licence only covers adults and older children. For new medicines, the manufacturer then has to recruit children and newborns into trials unless the medicine is not going to be used in children and newborns and subsequently amend the PIL with the approved information.
Older medicines may have been used effectively for many years in children without problems but the manufacturer has not been required to collect data and amend the licence.
However, if you are concerned about any conflicts of information, please discuss with your doctor, nurse or pharmacist.
