EPINEPHRINE 0.15 PEDIATRICS vs LABETALOL

**ring...ring** The phone rings again. **ring...ring** You're slammed, and there's three other people that could answer it. **ring...ring** You give in. 'Hello, pharmacy?' 'Hi, this is Britney, can you verify my Tylenol order on 6103?' 'Sure, it will be done shortly.' 'OK, right away!' **click** You

Had a colleague pharmacist inquire about the use of ethanol in pediatric patients, and trying to look into it more myself. For instance, selecting ferrous sulfate supplement drops for a pediatric patient. Are there any guidelines or data that talk about the use of alcohol containing medications for

Keep getting mixed discussion about the right dose of pediatric zofran. One doctor said the dose does not matter and no one overdoses on a 4 mg dose of zofran. Other sources are weight based, 0.15 mg/kg per dose. If there is an outpatient prescription for zofran for, let's say a 10 kg one-year old,

I am losing my mind over this. Would it be labetalol, NTG, or nicardipine? I thought yoy wpuld not use labetalol because it is a beta blocker, and not use NTG bc it woukd lower BP too quickly. so I picked nicardipine. however labetalol has both alpha and beta blocking so apparently that was the answ

Beta blockers are still prescribed as monotherapy for hypertension, especially in older patients who have been on them for many years. The kinetics of, say, metoprolol succinate are quite different from IV metoprolol, and runs of bradycardia are an issue with the latter in a patient of normal heart

Does anyone have a good potency analogy to explain that drug strengths cannot be directly compared to other drugs? I had a patient that was afraid to take labetalol 200mg because it was “higher than 10mg of lisinopril.” I’m admittedly really bad at translating stuff into layman’s terms and I did th
