Should children take ADHD medications or are alternative remedies safer?
I have to write a paper on whether or not children should take ADHD med. Im still on the fence about it and I would really like to have a firm opinion on the subject before I write it. Please Help! Thanks.
Ultimately each family must make their decision, preferably in conjunction with professional input and supervision, based on what they believe is best for their child.
What’s more of a determining factor for safety is NOT whether it’s “medication” or “alternative medicine” but whether it’s evidenced-based medicine. While some scientific evidence exists regarding some Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies, there are key questions of safety and efficacy that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies. A solid scientific evaluation process is necessary to assess conventional treatments, as well as CAM therapies. The list of what is considered to be CAM changes continually, as those therapies proven to be safe and effective are adopted as conventional health care.
There is a common misconception that herbal medicines are safe because they are from a natural source. Similarly, vitamin and mineral supplements are often viewed as safe because they are available without prescription and are found in many fortified foods. However, ingestion of dietary and herbal supplements can be associated with adverse events that include all levels of severity, organ systems, and age groups. Supplements do not always have clear dosage guidelines, or are packaged at dosage levels far in excess of recommended FDA allowances. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration is not involved in the regulatory or approval process for over the counter complementary or alternative medicines. As with drugs, herbal or botanical preparations have chemical and biological properties that have the potential for drug interactions. Associations between adverse events and ingredients are especially difficult to verify if a product contains more than one ingredient. Adverse events associated with dietary supplements are also difficult to monitor because such products are not registered before sale, and there is little information about their content and safety. As with all medications, safety and effectiveness must be taken into account when considering the use of any over the counter medication, herbal or dietary supplements.
