Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to examine if children in emergency departments are given the correct doses of acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain management.
- The results showed that 61% of children (893 out of 1471) received under-dosed prescriptions, with specific groups (like those using suppositories or with extreme body weights) being more affected.
- The findings suggest that the frequent under-dosing may be linked to a tendency to prescribe lower doses meant for fever rather than pain relief.
