Abstract:
Availability of appropriate drugs for children has been a bottleneck both at home and abroad for years.As a result, drugs for adults that are market available emerge a choice of convenience for children's treatment instead.For unique physiological and psychological characteristics of children, these drugs must be dispensed on individual basis before usage to children in question.Such drugs play a key role in children's treatment, and incur many problems on the other hand in their use and practice, such as drug stability, dosage accuracy, potential risks, as well as legitimacy in drug dispensing and use.A safe, reasonable and normalized use of such drugs calls for an orchestrated effort among pharmacists, trade associations and drug regulators as well.
