Product Description
The pediatric population is a dynamic group, with major changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics taking place throughout infancy and childhood. Because of these changes, the need for the evaluation and establishment of medication dosing regimens in children of different ages is great. "The Pediatric Dosage Handbook, 16th Edition", continues to be the trusted resource for all medical professionals managing pediatric patients. Updates to this Edition include 17 new drug monographs, updates to hundreds of existing monographs, two new monograph fields, breast-feeding considerations, product availability, multiple appendix updates including antithrombotic therapy in neonates and children. The book also covers immunization guidelines, oral medications that should not be crushed or altered, pediatric HIV, serotonin syndrome, 855 drug monographs, up to 39 fields of information per monograph, usual dosage by age group (Neonatal, Pediatric, Adult), over 100 extemporaneous preparation recipes, dictionary-like headings at the top of each page, FDA 'Tall Man' lettering to help distinguish drugs with look-a-like names, therapeutic category and key word index.

 Pediatric Dosage Handbook September 13, 2009
C. Martin (Sacramento, CA)
I needed this book as it is a required text for my pediatric clinical rotation in nursing school. Since it was a required text, I didn't compare it to other pediatric dosage guides. I'm not a big fan of the layout, etc. compared to my Davis Drug guide for adults. It seems harder to follow and a little less consistent with regard to where certain information on each individual drug can be found. Unless it is a required text, I would probably shop around for a better PEDs dosage guide.
 Excellent Book May 3, 2009

Peds Dosage Handbook April 6, 2009
Somkiat Sopontammarak (Sioux Falls,SD USA)
So far, it is a good book for peds medications. It contains lots of information including CPR algorithms.
A must have! March 16, 2009

I am a nursing student, and this book was indispensible for my pediatric rotation. It is easy to use, and my instructor said it can easily be used for the adult population as well. Now, I'll be loaning it to a friend who is starting her peds rotation!
 Great resource! November 5, 2008

Is a great drug resource. Has everything you need to know and it easy to use. My only complaint is that there is no index by brand name and the drugs are listed by generic, so if you do not know the generic name you are kind of stuck. Contains adult doses as well, and includes other pediatric medicine resources.
