E-DRUG: Oral quinine for children (2)
-------------------------------------
Does anyone have an appropriate formula for a quinine mixture
suitable for children completing the 7 day quinine course for severe
and complicated malaria.
We take Quinine ampules and mix it in dextrose 50% so that 5ml come
out to the dosage reauired.
By the way, severe and complicated Malaria are different entities and
the latter can not be treated with oral drugs by definition.
