E-DRUG: Stories on giving medicines to children (2)
------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues
  As a follow up to the message I posted on 25th April regarding your personal stories on the good and not-so-good experience with giving medicines to children, I wish to report that, so far, the response has been an overwhelming and deafening silence. 
   
  This brings me to ask the next set of questions: Is this issue of lack of age appropriate medicines for children really an issue? So what if there are no age-appropriate formulations for children? are the adaptive and coping mechanisms working well? Is this really a problem at the end-user level? Sounds like its not! Just thinking loudly.
   
I welcome any response from those with experience and/or ideas.
