Investigation and Analysis of 30 Kinds of Divided Doses of Orally Ingested Over the Counter Liquid Preparations for Children
Objective: To investigate and analyze the status of divided doses of orally ingested over the counter drug (OTC) liquid preparations for children sold in retail pharmacies
so as to improve the level of rational drug use for children and provide reference for the relevant national administrative departments to formulate regulations. Methods: OTC drug information for children such as product name
specification
type
dosage form were inputted into Excel 2007
and relevant information was classified and summarized. The method of divided doses was based on the European Pharmacopoeia 9.0
which was used to check the uniformity of dosing weight of multi-dose packaged preparations. The accuracy of divided doses of 15 multi-dose packaged OTC oral liquid preparations for children was analyzed. Five single-dose packaged OTC oral liquid preparations for children were randomly selected to analyze the accuracy of divided doses. Results: The item of “usage and dosage” in the drug instructions did not clearly indicate the dosage for children
accounting for 43.5%. The description of the “usage and dosage” in the drug instructions for children affected the determination of dosage. Among the 15 kinds of multi-dose packaging products
dextromethorphan hydrobromide oral solution and paracetamol drops (dosage cups or droppers) were not passed by uniformity of mass of divided doses from multi-dose container
and were measured by dosage scaling according to the outer surface or inner label of packaging bottles. With the same manufacturer and varieties
the RSD taken according to the outer surface or inner label of packaging bottles was greater than that taken according to the dosage cups. There were 23 kinds of single-dose packaging
and 22 needed to be divided into different doses. None of the packaging was equipped with the divided doses
and the five randomly selected products failed to pass the test of multi-dose packaging preparation for different doses and weights. Conclusion: The term “usage and dosage” in the OTC drug instructions for children urgently needs to be standardized. It is suggested that the regulatory authorities should formulate regulations to ensure the accuracy of multi-dose packaging dosage. Single-dose packaging liquid preparations that require divided doses need to be packaged instruments.
