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:
Across much of the UK, the sun is shining and the temperatures are high. It is important to keep your all of your family’s medicines in a cool place, so they are not damaged.
You can store medicines in a cupboard, keeping them away from heat and direct sunlight.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and a time when many Muslims will fast between the hours of sunrise and sunset.
Some children and young people may therefore choose not to take medicines during this period. These usually include medicines taken by mouth (such as tablets, capsules and liquid medicines), through the nose and rectally (in the bottom).
We are always looking for parents and carers based in the UK to help us review our leaflets and the website. We need your help to make sure that our information is helpful and easy to understand. You don’t need any experience. It won’t take up too much of your time, and you can volunteer from home.
Some children who have had day case surgery have pain and this can be worrying for their parents. My child is in pain is a new online resource for parents and carers with useful and practical information to learn about how to help their child.
