Why is the dosage smaller for Becodefence Kids?

The anatomy of the nose, sinuses and nose cavity of a child (6-12 years) and an adult are quite similar, only differ in size. The Kids’ dosage was proportional reduced from 0.14ml to 0.07ml. It can be expected that the reduced dosage is sufficient to provide efficacious allergy protection for children, age 6-12.

In terms of safety, the biocompatibility tests & toxicity data obtained from Becodefence can be used by Becodefence for Kids, as the formulation & ingredients used are the same.
