[NP-Clinical] Colic

[Cherie Wright]

Fortunately, I do not have any personal experience and very little
professional experience with this topic; however, a friend of mine brought
her 8 week old child in to another clinic today and was given an Rx for
Levsin for colic.  The poor little guy has been miserable for 8 weeks,
although he is growing very well, and his mother has been stressed to the
gills.  Is Levsin something that is commonly given to these very young
infants?  What is the usual dosing?

 

TIA for any information,

Cherie Wright, FNP
