    Children (under 18 years old):

    There is a lack of safety information regarding the use of Oscillococcinum® in children less than two years old.

    For cold or flu symptoms, dosing is based on manufacturer instructions (for children two years of age and older). The entire contents of one tube should be dissolved in the mouth every six hours, up to three times daily until symptoms resolve. It has been reported that when administered to children, the pellets may be dropped into 4-6 ounces of water, stirred, and then given by teaspoonful or sipped.

    You should read product labels, and discuss all therapies with a qualified healthcare provider. Natural Standard information does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
