Abstract

Children are in a state of delicate physiologic equilibrium and, unlike adults, are more susceptible to medications and their adverse effects. Medicines used for children should be carefully selected, and the minimum dose required should be administered. Possible adverse reaction in multidrug therapy is also essential. The pediatric dentist must also consider any other drug the child may be taking while prescribing drugs and understanding children’s presenting signs and symptoms.
