Drug Dosages In Children 11Ed (Pb 2024)
This refreshed and considerably expanded pocket reference has been crafted to support medical trainees, junior hospital doctors, GPs, and specialist paediatricians alike. The latest iterations of anticonvulsant medications, antimicrobial agents, HIV treatments, antimalarial compounds, and TB therapies now feature throughout. You'll find crucial guidance on which drugs to sidestep for children with G6PD deficiency, alongside sensible precautions for those receiving breast milk. Comparative adult dosing information completes the clinical picture. Whether you're a fledgling doctor building confidence in your prescribing decisions or an established practitioner seeking to minimise unwanted reactions, this book delivers real utility. Beyond simple dose tables, it explores how medications behave once inside the body, weighing the merits and drawbacks of different delivery methods. Key concepts like absorption rates, how drugs spread through tissues, their lasting power, and how the body processes and eliminates them receive proper attention. Each entry runs through daily requirements calculated by body weight, dosing intervals, and administration routes in alphabetical order. Critical warnings, situations where a drug shouldn't be given, and potential side effects for key medicines are all clearly marked. Commercial brand names from reputable manufacturers, complete with available formulations and concentrations, round out the practical detail.
