E-DRUG: Pediatric Formulations
------------------------------
I am interested in the availability of guidelines and standards for the
preparation and administration of medicines to children. Specifically;|
1. Guidelines on avoiding the need for extemporaneous preparation e.g.
rounding of accurately calculated doses to fit available dosage form;
substituting another drug for which an age-appropriate dosage form is
available; manipulating a dosage form to get an accurate dose such as
splitting tablets?
2. Extemporaneous dispensing (For example, do you have standards for
extemporaneous dispensing; do you have guidance on using commercial dosage
forms or drug chemicals as the starting material; do you have a formulary of ‘recipes’?).
