Treatment of children is always a responsible and incredibly protracted process.
Today we will tell you what you should know first of all about children's medicines so as not to be mistaken.
Oral medications are preferred.
Medicines intended for children in the first three years of life should not resemble confectionery in shape and should not have a bright, attractive coloration.All medications necessary for the treatment of infants in their first year of life are made sterile.
The medicinal product should contain as few additional substances as possible, while special requirements (safety, naturalness) are nominated for all auxiliary ingredients: dyes, flavors, stabilizers, preservatives, solvents, etc.
The packaging of the drug must have a special protective device that does not allow the child to open the bottle on his own.
Liquid preparations are completed with special devices that facilitate accurate dosing (measuring spoons, pipettes, etc.).
