Many parents are wondering: “Is it possible to use Fitolax for children?” The annotation to the supplement does not say anything about this. But, if you look in detail, then it is not difficult to answer this question. So, you want to give your child Phytolax. The instruction clearly informs us that the composition of the supplement includes severalsubstances of plant origin. But, if dried apricots and dill fruits are given as a decoction to very young children, can the same be said about senna? On the drug market, there is such a laxative as Senna Leaves. It clearly states that the product is prohibited for use by children under 12 years of age. It follows that "Phytolax", which is supposedly the "key to constipation", should not be used for children.
