Q Is herbal medicine safe for young children?
A It is safe because it is prescribed at pediatric-specific doses and concentrations. Reports of abnormal liver values are extremely rare.
Detailed Answer
Pediatric herbal medicine is adjusted to one-third to one-half of the adult dose, according to the child's weight and age. Herbal medicine prescribed at domestic Korean medicine clinics uses products from GMP-certified pharmaceutical companies, meeting heavy metal and pesticide standards.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we prescribe primarily low-toxicity herbs for childhood atopic dermatitis, and during long-term use we periodically check digestive condition to adjust the prescription.
