  • Title: Psychotropic medications for pediatric functional gastrointestinal disorders.
    Author: Hussain SZ, Hyman PE.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 2014 Sep; 59(3):280-7. PubMed ID: 24886991.
    Abstract:
    We describe the use of psychotropic medications in the treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in children based on available data. We address their safety and efficacy. Most pediatric gastroenterologists do not or are not able to collaborate with child psychiatrists, so it may be beneficial for pediatric gastroenterologists to have a working knowledge of off-label psychotropic drugs to improve functional symptoms. We recommend that efforts be made to involve both the children and their families from the beginning, adverse effects be mentioned, and the treatment plan be explained.
