Handling Pediatric Extemporaneous Oral Solutions with Chemotherapy
摘要
Sometimes, the patients are neonates or infants, and administering an oral drug in neonates or infants is not easy. Sometimes, the patients simply cannot swallow. Because of this, a good option is to create extemporaneous preparations for those cases. An oncology pharmacist is the professional who is able to do this, with prescription from a pediatric oncologist physician, using the specific chemotherapy vertical flow equipment (Schmidt, Chemotherapy in neonates and infants: pharmacological oncology for children under 1 year old. Springer, Cham, 2018).
