E-drug: Drug formulations suitable for use in children (cont'd) --------------------------------------------- Dear E-drug Users, The matter of need for drug formulations suitable for use in children is as serious in Uganda as it is in Kenya. And the pharmaceutical-related problems with many of the vertical programmes seem to be more than this issue of lack of pediatric dose forms.   And there is no doubt that a deliberate idea of making either pediatric tablets or capsules must be developed into activities. In this vein, the programmes must be willing to quantify the need so that manufacturers can produce accordingly.   Moreover, there is comfort in concluding that a number of vertical health programmes require enormous pharmaceutical services for which they must hire pharmacists in order to appropriately administer the services.   Regards,   George Kibumba, MPS., Teaching Assistant, Clinical Pharmacy, Dept of Pharmacy, Makerere University P.O Box 33543, Kampala, Uganda, Mobile: 256-78-430 080 e-mail: kibumba@yahoo.com -- To send a message to E-Drug, write to: e-drug@healthnet.org To subscribe or unsubscribe, write to: majordomo@healthnet.org in the body of the message type: subscribe e-drug OR unsubscribe e-drug To contact a person, send a message to: e-drug-help@healthnet.org Information and archives: [http://www.essentialdrugs.org/edrug](http://www.essentialdrugs.org/edrug)
