Children and Medicine: A Special Challenge

Children can present several challenges when it comes to taking their medications. Some children may resist taking a liquid medicine due its taste, others may have difficulty swallowing pills. Also, many children have a fear of injections, which leads to different problems altogether.

Also, many medications aren't labeled for children. If a medicine isn't approved for use in infants and children, it typically isn't available in a suitable pediatric dosage forms.
