Abstract:
Objective: To study the dosages of capsules commonly used in children to provide reference for the addition of capsule specification for children.Methods: According to the application situation of capsule dosages commonly used for the inpatients in one children's hospital from January 1, 2013 to September 1, 2016, and combined with the usage rates of various drugs with different dosages, the addition of the minimum dosage of capsules was proposed.Results: Totally 10 species of commonly used capsules were selected from the children's hospital, and among them, 4 ones met the requirements of clinics, and the other 8 ones needed the specification addition, including clostridium butyricum capsules (210 mg) and polysaccharide ferric complex capsules (25 mg).Conclusion: The existing capsule specification can not fully meet the clinical requirements in the children's hospital.Therefore, appropriate dosage adjustments are still needed.
