Even for over-the-counter medications without a prescription we have to be very careful at the time administer them to a child. And always consult the pharmacist our doubts or the doctor if we are still not clear about it ... In addition, it is possible that at any given time we have lost the drug leaflet and do not remember the appropriate dose for our child.
Then, it can serve us Babymecum, an application to know the doses of children's medicines developed and supervised by pediatricians and that can get us out of the predicament indicating for example the doses of medications as well known as Apiretal, Dalsy, Flutox ...
It is an application available in several operating systems and has been awarded on occasion, obtaining many downloads in the time it has been circulating, for iOS and Android.
Babymecum perfectly documents the dose of most common pediatric medication. The mechanism is simple: you just have to enter the child's weight and Babymecum calculates the dose of many medications grouped by subject. The minimum recommended age for each medication also appears. These are the medications we found:
- Antitérmicos: Apiretal, Dalsy, Junifen2%, Junifen 4%, Febrectal suppositories lactances and infantile, Nolotil suppositories infantile
- Antibiotics: Augmentine, Clamoxyl, Denvar, Klacid, Pantomycin Forte, Zinnat, Zitromax
- Antitussives: Dastosin, Flutox, Levotuus, Romilar Syrup, Sekisan, Toseina, Diminex
- Others: Actithiol, Aerius, Aerored drops, Atarax, Flumil 2%, Paidoterin, Polaramine
The danger I see in this type of application is that they are taken as a substitute for the pediatrician's diagnosis, when we may have been wrong and that the medication has no effect.
But if we are clear about what is happening or we have lost the prescription of the pediatrician or the prospect (although in the end and, everything must be said, unfortunately, for certain drugs and diseases we become "experts" ...), you can get us out of trouble.
