Erratic absorption of posaconazole oral suspension necessitates frequent dosing and administration with meals or supplements. Alternative enteral formulations are desirable for patients intolerant to enteral nutrition. Crushed posaconazole delayed-release tablets (POS-DRT) show promise in adults; limited evidence exists in children. We used crushed POS-DRT in 10 encounters with nine pediatric patients, achieving target POS concentrations in 90% of encounters. This highlights crushed POS-DRT as a potential enteral option for pediatric antifungal prophylaxis and treatment.
