How Do Pediatricians Address Pharmacological Challenges?
Pediatricians must consider several factors when prescribing medications to children, such as:
Age-Appropriate Dosing: Doses must be carefully calculated based on the child’s age, weight, and developmental stage. Drug Metabolism: Children metabolize drugs differently than adults, affecting efficacy and safety. Formulation Considerations: Medications must be in formulations that are easy for children to take, such as liquids or chewable tablets.
