An evaluation of tools via patient-reported outcome measures to assess the acceptability of existing oral liquid medicines within a paediatric inpatient population
16. January 2017
Introduction
- Palatability of liquid medicines is a recognised challenge within the paediatric population
- Acceptability: “The overall ability of the patient and its caregiver to use the medicine as intended”
- Patient needs must be met when medicines are designed
- Patient acceptability of a medicinal product is likely to have a significant impact on adherence and consequently, on its safety and efficacy.
- Currently no guidance of how ‘acceptability’ should be measured in an age-appropriate paediatric setting
