Many parents ask themselves: "Can I use the product" Phytolax "for children?" The annotation to the supplement does not say anything about it. But, if you look at it in detail, then it is not difficult to answer this question. So, you want to give the child "Phytolax". The instruction clearly informs us that the composition of the additive includes several substances of plant origin. But, if dried apricots and dill fruits are given to children of the youngest age as a decoction, can you say the same about Senna? In the market of medicines there is such a laxative remedy as "Senna leaves". It clearly states that the product is banned for use by children under 12 years of age. It follows that "Phytolax", which is supposedly "the key to constipation," is absolutely not worth using for children. If your child has problems with the intestines, consult a qualified doctor so that he can prescribe the correct medication for you.
