Abstract

Child is not a miniature adult. The physical and biochemical differences determine the pharmacokinetics as well the pharmacodynamics of the drug administered. This chapter briefs on different drug calculation methods for children, with the commonly used antibiotics, analgesics and prophylactic drugs for children.
