Nauzene Kids (www.NauzeneKids.com) is the only kids' product specifically labeled to relieve nausea associated with the "stomach flu." This is the common name for gastroenteritis – the inflammation of the stomach and intestinal tract that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramping. While this nasty "stomach bug" can occur any time of the year, it tends to peak during the winter months when children are in close contact with one another indoors.

Nauzene Kids is also labeled for adults and works well to relieve Mom and Dad's nausea from the "stomach flu" as well as from overindulgence in food or drink. One bottle can relieve the entire family's nausea, whether from a "stomach bug," a large holiday meal, a holiday party or even a long car ride. Nauzene Kids also has a delicious natural grape flavor that the whole family can enjoy.

When choosing a nausea remedy for children, parents must carefully read the label to be sure it is appropriate for the age of their children. "Any stomach remedy containing bismuth subsalicylate should not be given to kids under the age of 12 years old," says Michelle Rogers, RN, BSN, MA, who has been a school nurse for the past 22 years. "It's very important that parents read the label."

Nauzene Kids fits the preferences of today's parents who are concerned about what is going into their children's bodies. Nauzene Kids is:

Salicylate and aspirin-free.
Paraben-free, removing worries about these controversial chemicals used as preservatives in many products, including some stomach upset remedies.
Homeopathic, assuring gentle relief for the growing number of consumers who are requesting these remedies.
Free of artificial flavors or dyes.

Nauzene Kids has a suggested retail price of $6.99 - $9.99 and can be purchased at CVS Pharmacies, HEB stores, Meijer stores, Drugstore.com and other retail stores nationwide.

While it may be nearly impossible to avoid the occasional bout of "stomach flu," good hygiene helps. "Thorough and frequent hand washing is important to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others," says Rogers.

Alva-Amco Pharmacal Companies, Inc., the maker of Nauzene Kids, has been a leading producer of trusted specialty, non-prescription pharmaceuticals for more than 60 years. The company produces a variety of health and wellness products, as well as products focused on women's health, pain relief and medicated skin care.
