Hi,

It has a pediatric use. So, it seems it is used. It is sometimes sedating so, that could be a problem in some children since they probably need to increase fluid intake.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
