The excipients benzyl alcohol, propylene glycol and ethanol are present in medications used in the neonatal intensive care unit. Exposure to high levels can have adverse effects in a neonatal population. The objective was to quantify excipient exposure in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates and identify risk factors associated with greater exposure.
This paper presents a multiobjective design method for determining the optimal setup of excipients use processes, e.g., material reception storage testing and actual usage considering quality and cost-effectiveness. More
The STEP stands for Safety and Toxicity of Excipients for Paediatrics. The Safety and Toxicity of Excipients for Paediatrics (STEP) Database is a user-designed resource developed by European Paediatric Formulation Initiative (EuPFI) and United States Paediatric Formulation Initiative (USPFI) in collaboration for storage and rapid/effortless access to the safety and toxicological data of excipients that is scattered over various sources and presents it in one freely accessible source. It is a...
