Abstract

Pediatric medication is a critical aspect of healthcare that addresses the medical needs of children. As children differ significantly from adults in terms of physiology, metabolism, and developmental stages, administering medications to pediatric patients requires specialized considerations. This article explores the importance of pediatric medication, the challenges it presents, and the measures taken to ensure safe and effective treatment for children. Key topics include age-appropriate dosing, formulations, regulatory efforts, and the role of healthcare providers and caregivers in optimizing pediatric medication management.
