Risky medications in paediatric dermatological extemporaneous formulation and their suitable alternatives

PharmDr.Zbyněk Sklenář, Ph.D.
Vyšší odborná škola zdravotnická, Plzeň

When prescribing local dermatological medicinal products prepared individually at the pharmacy for paediatric patients, it must be kept

in mind that some medications are currently qualified as problematic or even considered obsolete in paediatrics. However, in an effort to

prescribe a suitable alternative, the physician lacks appropriate specialized literature that would address this issue. The paper presents

selected active substances used in extemporaneous formulations which, in terms of contemporary therapy, are considered hazardous or contraindicated

in paediatric patients, and offers prospective suitable alternatives in the form of individually prepared medicinal products.

septonex, chlorhexidine, nystatin.
