Neonatal and Pediatric Considerations: Pharmacokinetics
Absorption


- Gastric pH less acidic until 1-2 years old


- Absorption is a lot easier when you are more basic than acidic

, - Gastric emptying slowed


- Intramuscular absorption faster and irregular


Distribution


- Greater total body water means lower fat content


- decreased level of protein binding


- immature blood-brain barrier- more drugs enter the brain


Metabolism


- Liver immature; does not produce enough microsomal enzymes


- other children may have increased metabolism, requiring higher doses than
infants


Excretion


- Kidney is immature which slows Glomerular filtration rate


- decreased perfusion rate of kidney may reduce excretion of drugs
