Survey of unlicensed and off label drug use in paediatric wards in European countries. BMJ 2000;320:79
2262 drug prescriptions were administered to 624 children in the five hospitals.Almost half of all drug prescriptions (1036; 46%) were either unlicensed or off label.

Consequences of off-label usage-Benefit, No effect, Harm
Drug Off label use
BeclometasoneUsed in infants under 12 months. Licensed for 2 years and over in Italy
Fluticasone 250 g twice daily in 4 year old. Maximum dose 100 g twice daily
Trimeprazine Used as sedative in child with pneumonia.
Licensed for urticaria, pruritus,
and pre-anaesthetic medication.
Rifampicin Used for enzyme induction in infant with biliary atresia
Salbutamol Used two hourly (12 times daily). Licensed for 4 times daily.
Tobramycin Used once daily in neonate. Licensed for twice daily.

Best medical judgment Folli et al.(1987): 0.45 to 0.49 ordering errors per 100 medication orders (2 ped.
hospitals X 6 mos). Most common type were dosing errors (PICU)/ Antibiotics.
Kaushal RB (1999): 6 ordering errors per 100 medication orders (2 ped. hospitals
X 6 wks). Most errors involved incorrect dosing (NICU).
Few drugs are preprepared in doses appropriate for children. This necessitatesthe frequent dilution of stock medicationserror calculating /dilution.

About 150 Americans die a year
by accidentally taking too much
acetaminophen, the active
ingredient in Tylenol, federal data
from the CDC shows.
Taken over several days, as little as 25 percent above the maximum daily dose - or just two additional
extra strength pills a day - has been reported to cause liver damage.Taken all at once, a little less than
four times the maximum daily dose can cause death.
