came to the Beijing Children's Hospital more than 20 years ago. "Over the past 20 years, the pharmacists in our hospital have changed several times, but this scene has never changed."
Wang Xiaoling is director of Pharmacy Department of Beijing Children's Hospital. In her opinion, tablets were milled into powder and then divided into doses, which means that children's medicines are not sufficient in dosage forms and specifications.
Wang Xiaoling was commissioned by the State Administration of health and Planning Commission to carry out a survey. The results showed that in the catalogue of pediatric drug use in 15 large children's hospitals in the country, the most advanced dosage forms were injections, tablets, and only 21 oral solutions. "For young children, it means that they are likely to face only a tablet that can be selected. This requires that the tablets be divided into 1/2 tablets and 1/4 tablets. For newborns, it may have to have 1/8 or even smaller pieces, and once they are unevenly divided, it may cause drug damage. In addition, there are very limited varieties of syrup suitable for children. "
in addition to dosage forms and specifications, the shortage of children's medicines should not be overlooked. The survey carried out by the former Wang Xiaoling showed that there were 1098 kinds of drugs in the Department of Pediatrics of 15 major pediatric hospitals in the country, only 45 kinds of special drugs for children, 4% of them, and about 43% of the other 1053 kinds of drugs. "This means that at least 50% of the drugs are not used in the pediatric department. The shortage of children's medication instructions and information, and the use and dosage of the children are not clear, and the pediatrician is faced with the dilemma of the law and the clinic every day. Wang Xiaoling said.
