Drug dosing is
very important in children because children don’t take the same amount of
medicine as adults. When the doctor calculates what the child’s going to have,
it’s very important that that is evaluated and looked at from the standpoint of
not overdosing a child. Children respond very well to medications if given in
the proper dosages. That’s why when you see the pediatrician or the family
physician and they write the dosage, make sure you look at it and you take it
to the pharmacy, and they closely look at it, so there is not a discrepancy.
