What are Some Challenges in Pediatric Pharmacotherapy?
Challenges include:
1. Limited Clinical Trials: Fewer clinical trials are conducted in children, leading to less evidence-based data. 2. Off-Label Use: Many drugs prescribed to children are off-label, meaning they are not specifically approved for pediatric use. 3. Adverse Drug Reactions: Children may be more susceptible to certain side effects, necessitating close monitoring.
