Yes, Asentra can be used on an 8 year old child. As for the suggested dosage for children from 6 to 12 years: The starting dose is 25 mg of sertraline - the active substance of Asentra once a day, in the morning or in the evening. After one week of treatment, the dose may be increased to 50 mg once a day and then to a maximum of 200 mg per day. Ultimately, the dosage is determined by the doctor, but it is recommended to gradually increase the dose of the drug to avoid worsening side effects. However, it is worth knowing that Asentra in the initial weeks of treatment may intensify restlessness and the need for movement. So if you are concerned about whether your child can use the drug if you are diagnosed with hyperactivity, you can discuss it with your doctor. More about Asentra in the link below.
