Re: pepcid information and a caution

[Guest guest]

Can anyone tell me what a safe dosage would be to give to my daughter who is

10 1/2, about 70 lbs if I decided to give Pepcid a try?

Thanks,

Thank you. I had posted this request before reading your posting.

Don't ask us, ask your pediatrician. Please read my cautions first though

I'd be interested too. Jill is 12, 102#. She has always had behavioral

difficulties, but, is doing quite well on Clonidine and Ritalin. This is

as stable as she's been in a long time. Hey, Pepcid would be worth a try.

I'd like to see the clinical trials, though.

I don't know about safety but the dose given in another post was 2 mg per 2.2

pounds.

Thanks Barbara!

to let you know, pepcid has gliadin in it, a gluten derivative

(heard this from SHATTOCK)

I appreciate all the cautions sent my way. I haven't tried it on my daughter

because I'm not sure if she has a problem with sulphation(sp?) as other

parents have stated in their postings.

Thanks,
