I would use "mild". Mild drug prescribed for children for example.

I would say "ineffective" for the meaning per your "additional details". But note "strong" has two connotations here, the primary one being effectiveness, but also a suggestion of having side effects. So that dimension would be described by "mild" or "gentle".
