  The adage that “everything changes with kids” is arguably just as applicable in the pharmacy world as it is in the world of parenting. Working with pediatric patients requires a different understanding of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. In this session, our pediatric pharmacist examines the intricacies of pediatric pharmacokinetics, focusing on the most practical pieces routinely seen in practice.
