Publisher's Synopsis
This well established formulary has been completely updated and now includes information on 20 more drugs.
Specials attention is paid to the rapid changes that occur in the renal and hepatic handling of some drugs after the first few weeks after birth, and to the impact of illness and immaturity on drug metabolism and drug elimination.
The text for each entry routinely includes information on which is known about:
- Placental transfer
- Teratogenicity
- Toxicity
- The extent to which each drug appears to breast milk
- Drug storage
- Cost
- Use and administration
To keep the book up to date, a linked web site is being developed which will provide all the latest relevant information.
