What Challenges are Faced in Neonatal Medication Administration?
Several challenges exist, including:
- Limited Drug Formulations: Many medications are not available in neonatal-friendly formulations, necessitating compounding. - Lack of Research: There is a paucity of research on drug efficacy and safety in neonates, leading to off-label use. - Variability in Drug Response: Neonates' responses to medications can be highly variable, requiring individualized treatment plans.
