Hi,

Does anyone out there have a toddler who's taking Artemisinin? If so, how are you giving it to your child? Is the medication in liquid form? If not, do you have to break capsules and mix the powder with something?

Thanks,
Bubbalyme

I give artemisinin to my 4 year old twins boys. I break open a capsule and mix it into yogurt or choc. pudding twice daily.

I get the Allergy Research Group brand.

The reason I ask is that we're a little scared yet to give our son Artemisia. Did a doctor prescribe it? What's their dosage, if I may ask? Also, what part of the plant is the medication from? Is it Artemisia Annua? Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks,
Bubbalyme
