Features: This book is the revised edition of the "Practical Pediatric Medication Handbook." The current edition includes 853 Western medicines, an increase from 640 in the first edition, and 122 traditional Chinese medicines, up from 114. Thirty-one Western medicines and 28 traditional Chinese medicines that are rarely used or obsolete have been removed. The newly added medications are mostly commonly used in pediatric clinical practice and have proven efficacy. The book still presents information in a tabular format, covering drug names, dosage forms and specifications, usage, pediatric dosage, neonatal dosage, mechanism of action and indications, adverse reactions and precautions (including major pharmacokinetic parameters, contraindications and precautions, and drug interactions). The appendix includes information on the treatment of poisoning and accidental injuries commonly occurring in children, the medication for 11 common pediatric diseases, and methods for calculating pediatric body weight and body surface area. For easy reference, in addition to a detailed table of contents, both Chinese and English indexes are provided. The handbook features up-to-date and rich content, aligning with current needs, concise language, easy-to-use references, and strong practicality, making it an essential tool for pediatric clinical medical professionals.
