Question
Does frequent use of Pidotimod affect children’s growth and development? I have taken Pidotimod before, and now the doctor has prescribed the same medication again. Will there be any problems with taking it again? Additionally, when conducting a 24-hour urine protein test, will increasing water intake and reducing exercise affect the test results?
Answer
The long-term impact of Pidotimod on children is not yet conclusive, but it is generally considered safe when used under a doctor’s guidance. As for the 24-hour urine protein test, it is important to maintain a stable level of water intake and exercise during the testing period; sudden changes in water intake or exercise levels may alter the accuracy of the test results. It is recommended to confirm the best testing conditions with your doctor before the test. Moreover, children’s growth and development are influenced by many factors, including genetics, nutritional intake, exercise levels, and disease conditions. It is advisable to regularly track growth indicators such as height, weight, and age-appropriate growth curves.
