Precautions for baby medication

1. Choice of route of administration :

The recommendation is “do not give intramuscular injections if the medication can be given orally, and do not give intravenous injections if the medication can be given intramuscularly”. Although the injection method provides accurate dosage, rapid onset of action, and is not affected by digestive juices, it also has its shortcomings. In addition to disinfection of the injection site, the quality of the drug, the irritation of the drug, the toxicity of the drug itself, particles and pyrogens in the infusion can all cause serious adverse reactions or even death. When the condition is not serious, please choose oral or intramuscular administration. When the condition is serious, choose intravenous administration.

2. The dosage should be accurate:

The dosage for children must be calculated based on age or weight. Adverse drug reactions may occur if the dosage is large or the intravenous injection speed is too fast, which exceeds the child's ability to bear or tolerance.

3. The choice of medicine should be appropriate:

Some important organs of children, such as the liver and kidneys, are not fully developed, liver enzyme secretion is insufficient or absent, and renal clearance function is poor. Therefore, the use of highly toxic drugs with serious adverse reactions should be avoided.

4. Babies should not take adult preparations:

When giving medication to babies, choose children's dosage forms. Do not use adult-specification sugar-coated tablets, sustained-release tablets, controlled-release tablets, capsules, etc. Sugar-coated tablets and capsules can mask the bitter taste of the drug on the one hand and improve its bioavailability on the other.
