Abstract:
Most new drugs are not labeled for certain populations, such as infants and children; and \"off-label\" use of drugs is common in pediatric patients. In this article, the author introduces pediatricians to the services of compounding pharmacists. He discusses topical anesthetic combinations, laxative formulations, medications for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, antinausea medications, diaper-rash medications, acne medications and head -ice medications. He concludes that the compounding pharmacist must use innovative thinking to formulate pediatric titrations of adult medications and to flavor those titrations to make them more palatable for children.
摘要:
大多数新药没有针对某些人群的标签,如婴儿和儿童;“标签外”药物的使用在儿科患者中很常见。在这篇文章中,作者向儿科医生介绍复合药剂师的服务。他讨论了局部麻醉组合,泻药配方,治疗注意力缺陷多动障碍的药物,抗恶心药物,尿布疹药物,痤疮药物和头部冰药物。他得出的结论是,复合药剂师必须运用创新的思维来制定成人药物的儿科滴定法,并使这些滴定法调味,以使其更适合儿童。
