PINTO, Susana  e  BARBOSA, Carlos Maurício. Paediatric Compounding Medicines. Arq Med [online]. 2008, vol.22, n.2-3, pp.75-84. ISSN 2183-2447.

Frequentely, in paediatric pharmacotherapy it is necessary to administrate active substances which are only available by pharmaceutical industry under the form of pharmaceutical specialities with dosages and/or dosage forms for adults. In these cases, the prescription of magistral formulations and their preparation by community pharmacies or hospital pharmacies leads to medicines, usually available as liquids for oral use, adaptated to the specific needs of each patient. In the future, the incentives that have been given to European and American pharmaceutical industry should contribute to increase the number of industrialized paediatric medicines. However, for several reasons, it is not expectable that these medicines will fullfil all the paediatric therapeutic needs, many of which will be solved by means of the prescription and preparation of magistral formulations.

Palavras-chave : paediatric medicines; compounding medicines; extemporaneous preparations; magistral formulations.
