Event Overview:

Pediatric populations represent the most diverse patient groups in all of medicine. Factors such as individual preferences, physiology, and dosage considerations all serve to complicate drug formulation aimed at pediatric care. Drug formulation for children has become increasingly important as the healthcare field recognizes the huge impact that strict patient adherence can have on a treatment’s efficacy as well as how off-label administration of a therapy, more common among younger and older patients, can both decrease efficacy and create the potential for medication-related toxicities.

In this webcast, three panel speakers will discuss the unmet needs within the pediatric population and related clinical recommendations for pediatric dosage forms. Swallowability challenges and the impact to children’s medication, and strategies to optimize pediatric formulation development resulting in improved patient outcomes within the pediatric population will be discussed. Join the webinar to learn how you can apply these strategies for your products today.
