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.
