【drug-news】研究称学龄前儿童要慎用利他林
Study warns of risks of preschool Ritalin
Associated Press
CHICAGO – Is it safe to give preschoolers Ritalin, the popular attention deficit disorder drug? The first long-term government study of that age group warns of side effects with the drug, which isn’t recommended for children younger than 6.
There were benefits for children who had severe ADHD, but the researchers said preschoolers on Ritalin need close monitoring because they’re more likely than older children to develop side effects.
The research involved children with severe behaviors that included hanging from ceiling fans and playing with fire. The researchers say the benefits of low-dose treatment outweigh the risks for these youngsters.
About 40 percent of children developed side effects and about 11 percent dropped out because of problems including irritability, weight loss, insomnia and slowed growth. Preschoolers on methylphenidate, or generic Ritalin, grew about a half-inch and gained about 2 pounds less than expected during the 70-week study.
The study appears in the November edition of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, www.jaacap.com.
