Warnings & precautions in children

Special care should be taken with infants and young children under 1 year of age, as they can react particularly sensitively to anticholinergics and there is therefore a risk of sleep apnea occurring. Doxylamine succinate should therefore only be used after careful medical risk-benefit assessment.
