Can I use the gel for babies?
"Kamistad" is used from a young age. However, another instruction for the use of this drug has recently appeared. It says that Kamistad is not recommended for children under three months of age. And even for those older, you can not give it more than three times a day. There are opinions according to which Kamistad should not be used for children under 12 years old.
What about mothers in this situation? The answer to this question can be found on the official website of the manufacturer. He explains this problem in this way: The company "Stada" - the official representative of this drug in countries that are members of the European Union - decided to amend the instructions for this drug. This is due to the fact that the norm of lidocoin content in drugs that are intended for children was revised. “Kamistad” was re-registered, and after that the instruction changed in accordance with the new rules established by the producing country - Germany. Nowadays, this gel cannot be used in order to treat children who are under 12 years old. In addition, the composition of this drug has not changed at all. Therefore, before using “Kamistad” when teething a child who is not yet 12 years old, you must first consult a doctor. Most likely, he will prescribe a gel that contains less lidocaine. After all, this substance has many side effects. This is an allergy, intestinal upset, and many others.
