AMH Children's Dosing Companion — New edition

The July 2019 release of the book and online versions are available now. Changes include:

  • 15 new monographs compared to the 2018 edition
  • Following the update to the Australian Asthma Handbook, doses for managing acute severe asthma have been revised, as well as a review of doses across all asthma medications, including a new monograph for tiotropium
  • Warnings have been added to insulin lispro and insulin glargine following the availability of new insulin strengths other than 100 U/mL. As insulin is associated with medication errors with serious consequences, the CDC offers advice around safe use of these higher strength presentations of insulin
  • New advice regarding doxycycline use in children and its effects on staining teeth
  • New doses for tacrolimus in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, adalimumab for uveitis, tocilizumab for JIA

Numerous other changes ensure the Children’s Dosing Companion remains current and relevant to safe and effective medicines use in children.
