Thoughts on Pediatric Chinese Patent Medicines Based on Clinical Application Characteristics
The common diseases in pediatrics department include respiratory diseases
digestive diseases
immune system diseases
and skin system diseases. Bronchitis
bronchial asthma
pneumonia and other respiratory diseases are common pediatric diseases
mainly with the symptoms of fever
cough
and runny nose
and are mostly related to children's physical weakness. Pediatric digestive diseases mainly include anorexia
vomiting
diarrhea and constipation. Skin system diseases mainly include tinea diseases such as tinea capitis
tinea pedis
and tinea corporis
allergic diseases such as urticaria and eczema
scorpions
sunburn and other skin diseases. Children are special groups for drug use
as their body is in the stage of growth and development and their organs are not yet mature
with strong susceptibility to disease
low stress ability
and not sensitive to drug reactions. Therefore
special requirements shall be noticed on the drug use and dosage. Children are the future of the country
but we have so many problems in pediatric drug use. It is worth pondering about pediatric drug use. Chinese patent medicine is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation in the forms of pills
powder
cream
pellet
and oral liquid
which is processed according to the laws and prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine and the rule of syndrome differentiation and treatment experience
mostly of a compound preparation. This is the essence of medical practice after thousands of years of experience. At present
the commonly used dosage forms for Chinese patent medicine are tablets
pills
capsules
oral liquids and powders. Pediatric Chinese patent medicines have the advantages of mild nature
ease of use
stable content
controllable dose-effect
and exact curative effect
so they are widely used in clinical applications. In order to ensure the effectiveness and safety of pediatric Chinese patent medicine
we should strictly grasp some considerations on pediatric Chinese patent medicine due to the particularity of pediatric patients. This paper would analyze the problems in the application of pediatric Chinese patent medicines and the corresponding countermeasures to improve the accessibility of pediatric medication.
