Dormikind for children: instructions for use

If the baby has trouble sleeping, it bothers the parents and often causes them to see a doctor who will examine the toddler and prescribe treatment. In order for the crumb to sleep and sleep better all night, there are harmless remedies that can be given even to infants up to a year. One of them is the homeopathic drug "Dormikind". Such a multicomponent remedy is highly demanded in case of restless sleep or difficulties in falling asleep, but before using it in children, mothers should learn more about its action, permitted dosages and possible harm.

"Dormikind" is produced in Germany in only one form, which are small in size round pills. They have a white color and a sweetish taste, thanks to which the drug is easily absorbed by children. As noted on the packaging and in the instructions, "Dormikind" is intended specifically for young patients - aged from 0 to 6 years. Tablets are sold in a brown glass bottle on the 150 pieces.

The effect of this tool is provided by several ingredients.

• Magnesium carbonicum in the amount of 20 mg in each tablet. Dilution of such magnesium compounds - D10.
• Zincum valerianicum presented in breeding D12. The amount of this zinc compound with valeric acid in one tablet is 15 mg.
• Substances of the small-flowered shoe, which are called tsiprepedium, since in Latin this plant is also called Cypripedium. They are in the "Dormikinda" diluted in D4, and their dosage in each tablet also amounts to 15 mg.

Among the inactive components of Dormikind are milk sugar and talc, as well as magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. Thanks to these compounds, the tablet has a dense structure and sweetness, and upon contact with saliva, it dissolves rather quickly.

The influence of “Dormikind” on the children's organism is provided by the complex effect of its active substances. The magnesium carbonate present in the tablets helps eliminate insomnia and nervous irritability. Zinc valerianate has properties to soothe the nervous system, due to which such a component very effectively affects problems with sleep and the work of the central nervous system. Cyprepedium is also indicated for nervous disorders, headaches, muscle spasms, insomnia and other problems.

The main reason to assign "Dormikind" to a child is a problem with sleep.

“Dormikind” should not be given to babies with hypersensitivity to any of its components, and the presence of milk sugar in tablets makes such a drug undesirable for children with a deficiency of lactase or glucose-galactose malabsorption. There are no other contraindications for this drug.

"Dormikind", as well as other homeopathic remedies, at the beginning of the reception can provoke exacerbation of symptoms. In such a situation, you need to show the baby to the doctor and, as a rule, the drug is replaced by an analogue.

To clarify how to properly give the child "Dormikind", it is best for your doctor. In the paper annotation attached to the preparation, the most common method of application is indicated, which provides for the fourfold administration of 1 tablet each. The drug must be put in the oral cavity and slowly dissolve.

It is best to give a pill to a child 30 minutes before meals. If the baby has just eaten, reception is recommended in half an hour. If “Dormikind” is prescribed to a baby or an early age child who is still unable to dissolve the tablets for a long time, the drug can be dissolved in water and given in liquid form. To dissolve one tablet, take a teaspoon of boiled water (5 ml).

The duration of the use of funds should be clarified with the doctor but the maximum "Dormikind" give no longer than 4 weeks. If the child receives the drug for 14 days and no improvement is not visible, it is recommended to re-consult a doctor.

Cases where a high dose of "Dormikind" had a harmful effect on the children's body, has not yet been. But, if the baby accidentally swallows many pills, it is necessary to induce vomiting and show the child to the doctor. As for compatibility with drugs, the manufacturer does not provide such information. Therefore, if the child is already receiving any treatment, it is necessary to talk to the doctor about the possibility of the simultaneous use of “Dormikind” and the medications taken by the young patient.

It is not required to show a prescription from a doctor to buy pills at the pharmacy, but it is advisable to consult a specialist before giving Dormikind to the child. The average price of one package of funds is about 550-600 rubles.

Store the drug for the entire shelf life, which is 5 years, it is recommended in a dry place where a bottle of tablets will be inaccessible to kids. The manufacturer calls the optimum storage temperature range from +15 to +25 degrees.

About 2/3 of the reviews on the use of Dormikind in children are positive. They tell moms that the pills helped improve night sleep, eliminated tearfulness, anxiety, restless behavior, irritability and other negative symptoms.

The benefits of the drug include its harmlessness, rare side effects and the possibility of use even in newborns. However, there are also negative reviews, in which they complain about the lack of results from the intake or too weak effect. In addition, one of the drawbacks of the drug is its high cost.

Doctors also speak about Dormikinda in different ways. Some experts often write it out for babies and note a positive effect on sleep. Other physicians, among whom is the famous pediatrician Komarovsky, doubt the effectiveness of any homeopathic remedies and do not advise giving such tablets to children.

One of the analogues of "Dormikind" is a solution "Passidorm". This is also a homeopathic drug, which has a hypnotic effect. It includes passionflower, hop, metallic zinc and escholcium. Thanks to these ingredients, the tool helps to get rid of the problems with falling asleep and frequent awakenings at night. However, since ethyl alcohol acts as an auxiliary component (its total content in the solution is 64 percent by volume), Passidorm is not used in patients younger than 12 years old.

It can be replaced by another homeopathic remedy from the well-known company "Heel", which is called "Valerianachel". In addition to valerian, such drops also contain hawthorn, chamomile, lemon balm, hops, picric acid, kalium bromatum and some other components.The product contains ethanol, but in smaller quantities than “Passidorm”, therefore it is allowed from the age of 6, and sometimes prescribed to younger children, for example, at 2 or 3 years. It calms the child, normalizes his sleep and has a beneficial effect on the state of the nervous system.

Instead of “Dormikind”, a doctor may recommend herbal remedies for sleep disorders, such as Passifit syrup or drops.Nott". Supplements are also in high demand, among which it is worth noting the drops called “Bai-bai”. They include extracts of peony, oregano, mint, hawthorn, and motherwort, and glutamic acid. Such components have a sedative and tonic effect, as well as a positive effect on the work of the central nervous system, the digestive system and other organs.

Another analogue, which has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and, in particular, at night's sleep, stands "Glycine". Such sweet tablets should be kept in the mouth until dissolved, as is Dormikind. In addition, they can also be applied from birth.
