Little Patients, Big Challenges: Developing Pediatric Formulations

Developing high-quality oral formulations tailored specifically for children is becoming increasingly crucial in the field of pediatric medicine. Children have unique physiological needs that must be carefully considered when creating age-appropriate medications. This includes ensuring that the medicine is palatable and easy for children to take, which is essential for maintaining high levels of patient compliance. Optimizing dosage forms to be child-friendly is a key aspect of this process. Additionally, the careful selection of excipients—substances used to formulate the medicine—plays a significant role in supporting the overall well-being of young patients.

In this webinar, you will gain valuable insights into the new requirements for testing high-risk components, specifically focusing on impurities such as diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol. These substances can pose significant risks, and understanding the latest testing protocols is essential for ensuring the safety of pediatric formulations.
