Hello and welcome to HCM forum.
No Bite Femite is a safe preparation ,it is not really a medicine but rather just a herbal kind of preparation (like neem juice )which helps in controlling thumb sucking behaviour in children
Thumb sucking can continue till the age of 2-5 years and is considered normal upto 2 years of age .
Though the success rates are variable , No adverse effects have been reported .
Thanks and take care .
