What are the Dosage Considerations for Pediatric Patients?
Dosage of INSTIs in pediatric patients is carefully determined based on age, weight, and the specific drug being used. For instance: - Raltegravir is dosed based on weight, with specific formulations available for infants and older children. - Dolutegravir also has weight-based dosing guidelines and specific formulations for younger age groups.
Pediatric dosing requires careful monitoring to ensure therapeutic efficacy while minimizing potential side effects.
