Administration Route and Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms in Pediatrics (1) Challenges in Dosage Forms:

o No “one -size-fits- all” approach for pediatric medicines; tailored forms are required. o Important factors: age-appropriate dosage, palatability, dosing frequency, and user needs. Common Administration Routes: o Oral : Most common; includes liquids (preferred for <5 years) and solids like tablets and capsules (rarely used). o Parenteral : Effective for acute situations but invasive and requires trained professionals. o Transdermal : Painless, continuous delivery (e.g., patches) but limited suitability depending on drugs. o Pulmonary (Inhalation) : Local or systemic delivery, often for asthma or COPD in children. o Rectal : Used for nausea, vomiting, or specific effects but has bioavailability issues.
