Child Taking Pill To Stay Focused In School But Losing Weight Due To Appetite Loss. Should He Reduce Dose?
my 7 yr old grandson is taking this pill 2 times a day to slow him down and to stay focused at school. The teacher said he is now doing great. He has lost weight and does not have an appetite at all when he takes it. He ate very well today when I had him and I did not give him the med. Is he taking too many milligrams, should he take only half of the 10 mi
HI Thank for asking to HCM To be very transparent with you, no need to give any medicine for the problem the kid have instead the counselling would be better no drug will do such thing, learning ability depend upon many factors and that all are physiologic and natural no medicine can alter this but medicine can bring the unwanted symptoms so better to off the drug and go for counselling have nice day.
