A1 - Bany-Mohammed, Fayez PY - 2020 T2 - Gomella's Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs, 8e AB - This section provides a description of medications used in the contemporary care of sick newborn infants.1 It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all drugs available for infants, nor is it intended to be an in-depth source of information about neonatal pharmacology. Readers are encouraged to consult with their institutional pharmacists regarding issues of pharmacokinetics, drug interactions, drug elimination and metabolism, and monitoring drug serum levels. Many of these medications may not have formal US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for use in neonates but have become commonly used in this population. The chapter does not provide detailed information about the medication but rather focuses on the use in neonatal population. Information on medications and breast feeding and pregnancy can be found in Chapter 156.
