Evidence-Based Pediatrics: AT HOME

Children are some of the largest consumers of pharmaceutical drugs in the US, with recent studies finding that, on average, roughly 20% of kids had been on a prescription medication within the most recent 30-day period. With such widespread consumption, we would assume these drugs had been extensively tested and proven safe and effective for use in a child's growing body. We'd be wrong. Study after study has shown that there are large gaps in safety data regarding the use of pharmaceuticals in children. Worse still, the over-use of pharmaceuticals during childhood has been clearly linked with increased risk of multiple chronic conditions. Yet, during the development process, children routinely face numerous health situations that must be addressed. What's a parent to do?
