Deena Yael Meerkin,
I spoke with Dr Hale he advised this was probably ok to use in premature infants if they have normal renal and liver functions, but to monitor infants closely since we do not know how much of this product transfers into breast milk. Adverse effects in adults include hepatotoxicity, liver failure, hepatorenal syndrome. A normal adult dose is 250-350mg TID.
