Is Petadolex Butterbur Gelcaps safe for children suffering from migraines?
Petadolex Butterbur Gelcaps can help children who suffer from migraines, but it is best used under a doctor’s care. In a recently published study, 108 children between the ages of 6 and 17 were tested using either Petadolex Butterbur Gelcaps or placebo. Children between the ages of 6 and 9 received one 50mg Petadolex Butterbur Gelcap while children 10 years and older received Petadolex Butterbur Gelcaps 50mg two times. After a four-month period 88% of the 6-9 year old children and 74% of the 10-17 year old children reported a reduction in the frequency of migraine headache attacks of at least 50%. There were only eight reported side effects, including three cases of belching, one case of nausea, and one case of stomach-ache.
