    I believe there are exceptions to the ban in the case of studies that are actively taking place. This isn’t a complete halt on their use; just the general prescription has been paused.

    The side effects like the effects on bone density and brain development do seem concerning and merit more investigation.

      Yes, stated as a recommendation until supporting evidence of its benefits can be found. The thing is that the side effects as you mentioned are well known and can unediably be linked to the therapy, thus warranting caution.
