When is my child old enough to take the original MigreLief product for adults?

For children over the age of 12 or over 100 pounds in weight, we suggest starting with 1 caplet of MigreLief per day and, if well tolerated, increasing to 2 caplets per day. If your 2-11-year-old child is taking 1 caplet twice a day of children’s formula and has not seen any benefit by day 60, increase the dosing to 2 caplets in the AM and 1 in the PM and confirm that this does not cause diarrhea. If diarrhea occurs due to the additional magnesium, it should resolve within 2-3 days. If it does not, then finish the 90-day period, taking 1 caplet twice a day of Children’s Migrelief

If your child tolerates the addition of one extra AM pill, consider adding an extra PM caplet as well and monitor the benefits by day 90. If you notice real improvement in your child, then continue at this daily dose.

At this point, if your child is taking 2 Children’s AM caplets and 2 PM caplets per day, upon your next order, you can switch to Original MigreLief as long as your child can swallow the larger caplet. You may also split a pill in half or crush and mix it with food for easier swallowing.

Are there any side-effects that my child might experience taking Children’s Migrelief.

There are no specific side effects associated with the ingredients in Children’s MigreLief and childhood use. But with that said, both dietary supplements and medicines can cause gastrointestinal upset in susceptible users.

Additionally, although the magnesium dose in Children’s MigreLief is reduced to reflect children’s needs, in sensitive users, magnesium may cause transient diarrhea, which typically resolves within 1-3 days. This is why we recommend starting with one Children’s Migrelief caplet for the first few days, then increasing the dose to two caplets per day.

Can I give my child more than 2 Children’s MigreLief caplets?

If your child is tolerating the 2 caplets per day that are recommended and results are not optimal, you can add a 3rd caplet for children up to 8 years old and even a 4th caplet for children 9 years old and above, as long as you don’t notice any gastrointestinal complaints or diarrhea that lasts for more than 2-3 days.
As with all dietary supplements, we suggest that you let you child’s pediatrician know that your child is taking Children’s MigreLief.

If I observe improvement in my child after using Children’s MigreLief for 90 days, what do I do then?

If improvement is observed we suggest continuing at the same dosing for as long as the child is still having some migraines, even if they are less frequent and gentler.

If on the other hand the migraines stop completely for a period of at least 3 months, it may be informative to stop the Children’s MigreLief to see if perhaps the child has outgrown his or her migraines and no longer needs the nutritional support that the Children’s MigreLief provides. Children’s MigreLief can be restarted if necessary.

How long will it take for my child to get results using Children’s MigreLief?

While some people experience benefits sooner, MigreLief Original and Children’s MigreLief daily supplements are designed to show benefits within a 90-day build-up period.

How do I know if my child’s headaches are migraines?

Migraines tend to be on one side of the head and throb however, for chidlren, it can be on both sides of head. If there is any kind of visual disturbance or speech dysfunction associated with the headache, it is likely to be a migraine. It is always best to consult your healthcare professional to confirm a diagnosis of migraine.
