Most parents have worried about the side effects and possible
long-term consequences of administering a particular medication to
their child. The medication may be available over-the-counter, like
cough syrup, or it may be prescribed by a doctor, like an
antibiotic. Parents want to know: Is the medication safe? Is it
effective? Will it help my child? A pediatric pharmacist for nearly
thirty years, Edward A. Bell has spent his career listening
carefully to parents' concerns. In Children's Medicines, Bell draws
on the latest scientific information, coupled with his experience
in hospital and clinic settings, as a university professor, and as

and risks of medicines * an explanation of why some adult
medications are not safe for children * descriptions of medicine
