BNF for Children (BNFC) 2014-2015

Pharmaceutical Press, 2014. — 896 p. — ISBN10: 0857111361; ISBN13: 978-0857111364.The BNF for Children is for rapid reference by UK health professionals engaged in prescribing, dispensing, and administering medicines to children.
BNF for Children has been constructed using robust procedures for gathering, assessing and assimilating information on paediatric drug treatment, but may not always include all the information necessary for prescribing and dispensing. It is expected that the reader will be relying on appropriate professional knowledge and expertise to interpret the contents in the context of the circumstances of the individual
child. BNF for Children should be used in conjunction with other appropriate and up-to-date literature and, where necessary, supplemented by expert advice.
Special care is required in managing childhood conditions with unlicensed medicines or with licensed medicines for unlicensed uses. Responsibility for the appropriate use of medicines lies solely with the individual health professional.
The print edition of BNF for Children is updated in July each year.
