Drugs

Drugs must be measured correctly so that the patient has exactly the right dose. Slightly too much or
too little may make an important difference. Children are often given exactly the same drugs as given to
adults, but in considerably smaller doses. There are several different ways of calculation children’s
dosages, according to the weight of the child, for example is the young’s rule:

Children’s dose = age of child (years) x adult dose

(age + 12 )

For infants, we can use Fried’s rule:

Infant’s dose = age (months) x adult dose

150
In general the following rules can be used:

Children under one year old are given 1/24 of the adult dose.

Children of one year are given 1/12 of the adult dose.

At 21/2 years, they can take 1/8 of the adult dose.

At 5 years, they can take ¼ of the adult dose.

At ten years, ½ of the adult dose is given.

At 20 years, the adult dose is given.
