Can I use Panawit Probiotic in a 4-year-old if the manufacturer declares on the packaging from the age of 12?

Hello, Daughter (4.5 years) suffers from strep throat The doctor prescribed her antibiotic Klacid to which I bought a PANAWIT probiotic which you recommended to me in the pharmacy, always when I give something to children I read the leaflet but unfortunately not this time 😌 on the leaflet of the probiotic is information that it is for young people from 12 years of age. Is it possible to overdose such a supplement? And what are the side effects

Excess bacterial microflora, as well as its deficiency can harm our body. Excess bacteria can cause unpleasant gastrointestinal symptoms, i.e. diarrhea, flatulence, excess gas. Unfortunately, I will not say how big a chance there is that my daughter will have them. You probably bought this preparation: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/114227/panawit-probiotyk-kapsulki/apteki It contains 10 billion Saccharomyces boulardii and is indicated from the age of 12. If you do not want to buy a new preparation, you can give half of the capsule at once, instead of the whole one. Pour out the contents and divide it in half, and then give the child, for example, with a meal (cheese or something else). This will be the safest. Do not exceed the permitted daily dose of the selected preparation, use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
