Prepared by a group of five specialists in paediatric pharmacology, the book offers clear advice on a range of drugs, diseases, and prescribing situations likely to be encountered outside the hospital setting. Both prescription and over-the-counter medications are considered. The book has two main parts. The first provides a thorough introduction to the principles and therapeutic approaches that define good prescribing practice in children. The second and most extensive part provides precise prescribing information for some 40 groups of drugs commonly used to treat childhood disorders and diseases. For each drug group, readers are given information on indications for use, guidelines for prescribing, and the comparative advantages and disadvantages of specific preparations, including recommended doses and routes of administration. Emphasis is placed on rational prescribing practice supported by clear evidence of drug efficacy and safety. In view of the dangers of overprescribing in this age group, the book also specifies cases where non-drug therapy is equally, if not more, effective.
