[CARPA] Bicillin Feedback Requested

[Julie Parras]

Dear CARPA,
 
As you are aware we now have the new Bicillin back in stock. One of the
areas that we are looking at for the future is the possibility of having
a pediatric dose syringe.
 
It is very early days yet but we at Aspen would like some feedback from
you as the main users of this product. Our understanding is that at
present you simply adjust the dosage for use in pediatrics, and this
would be based on weight?
 
If a pediatric dose was looked it it would be probably be 1ml (half the
adult dose) but we are unsure if this would fulfil the majority of
pediatric patients. The other area that we would like some feedback on
is the percentage of pediatirc use of Bicillin - it may not be
financially viable if this percentage is low.
 
I look forward to any feedback/thoughts you can give me in this
preliminary phase of discussion on a pediatric dose for Bicillin.
 
Kind Regards
