How can healthcare providers improve medication adherence in children?
To improve medication adherence in children, healthcare providers can:
Choose formulations that are child-friendly and easy to administer. Provide clear instructions and demonstrations on how to administer the medication. Engage children in the process when appropriate, explaining why they need the medication. Work with caregivers to establish routines that incorporate the medication regimen. Consider the use of flavoring agents to improve palatability when possible.
