#028 Do we know the right dose of medicine for children?
Manage episode 199619041 series 1529683
Paediatric medicine faces a troubling challenge. For good ethical reasons, scientists have long been reluctant to experiment on children. As a result, many of the oldest and most common medications used in pediatric medicine have not been tested on the youngest patients.

He’s a Senior Lecturer Paediatric Clinical Pharmacology at the University of Liverpool who wants to further what we know about the medicines we give to children.
