We have been busy reviewing some of our early leaflets to ensure that they are up-to-date. In the last few months the Medicines for Children team and many health care professionals across the UK have helped review over 30 Medicines for Children leaflets, including:

Paracetamol for mild-to-moderate pain
Amitriptyline for neuropathic pain
Phenytoin for preventing seizures
Sodium valproate for preventing seizures
Topiramate for preventing seizures
Vigabatrin for preventing seizures
Zonisamide for preventing seizures
Stiripentol for preventing seizures
Rufinamide for preventing seizures
Lacosamide for preventing seizures
Amoxicillin for bacterial infections
Erythromycin for bacterial infections
Flucloxacillin for bacterial infections
Penicillin V for bacterial infections
Trimethoprim for bacterial infections
Sodium bicarbonate for acidosis
Sodium chloride for hyponatraemia

We are committed to reviewing all our published leaflets every 3 years. For more information about our information production and review process, see how we produce our leaflets: http://www.medicinesforchildren.org.uk/what-we-do/how-we-produce-leaflets
