Article Synopsis
- Neonates in NICUs are often prescribed various drugs, many of which lack comprehensive safety and efficacy data, especially for premature infants.
- A study observed 192 neonates, revealing that nearly all were exposed to unlicensed or off-label drugs, with higher usage in those born before 28 weeks gestation.
- Out of the drugs reported, 15 were identified as potentially harmful, with a significant percentage of infants being exposed to harmful excipients, indicating a need for better drug safety and efficacy data in this vulnerable population.
