Question
My newborn has constipation, and the doctor has prescribed Domik, but some people say it’s for treating liver disease. Should I give it to the newborn?
Answer
Domik’s main ingredient is lactose, used to treat chronic constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. It is suitable for children aged 1 to 6, with a dosage of 5 to 10 milliliters per day, and for maintenance, 5 to 10 milliliters per day. For newborns, the dosage is 5 milliliters per day, with a maintenance dosage of 15 milliliters per day, and it can be safely used.
