Gelişimsel farmakoloji: Çocuklar küçük erişkinler değildir

Çocuklar erişkinlerden çok farklıdır. Büyüme ve gelişme hayatın ilk birkaç yılı boyunca çok hızlıdır ve matürasyon orta ve geç çocukluk çağı boyunca yavaş bir hızla devam eder. Vücut kompozisyonunda, vücut oranında, karaciğer ve böbreklerin kitlesinde gelişimsel değişimler farklı yaşlarda ilaçların farmakokinetik özelliklerini etkilemek-tedir. Bu nedenle çocukluk çağında yer alan değişiklik-lerin ilişkisini anlamak önemlidir. Çocuk popülasyonunda ilaçların kullanımı için ilaçların farmakokinetik ve farma-kodinamik davranışını anlamak optimal ve rasyonel ilaç tedavisi için gereklidir. Genel farmakokinetik prensiplerin uygulanması uygun çocuk dozuna karar verilmesinde esastır. Çocuk hastalarda ilaçların uygun kullanımı ço-cuklar için güvenli ve etkili dozajın belirlenmesini gerek-tirmektedir. Gelişimsel, genetik ve diğer klinik özelliklerle çocuklar ve erişkinler arasındaki belirleyici faktörlerin belirlenmesi çocuk hastaların tedavisinin en uygun hale gelmesine izin verecektir.

Developmental Pharmacology: Children are not small adults

Children are quite different from adults. Growth and development are most rapid during the first severel years of life and maturation continious at a slower pace throughout middle and later childhood. Developmental changes in body composition, body proportions, mass of the liver and kidneys affect pharmacokinetic characte-ristics of drugs at differet ages. It is therefore important to understand the relative changes that take place in childhood. Understanding the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behaviour of a drug in the pediatric population for its use is needed for optimal and rational drug therapy. Aplication of general pharmacokinetic principles is essential to determine appropriate pediatric dosage. Appropriate use of drugs in pediatric patients requires determining the safe and effective dosage for children. Defining the determinants between children and adults variability by developmental, genetic and other clinic characteristics allows optimization of treatment for pediatric patient.
