Medicine and Children

Description

Because children's bodies differ from adults, adult medical tests do not tell us how medicines will affect children or what dosages are necessary. Pediatricians often lack adequate information. This film explains the move in recent decades toward testing medicines in children, the ethical questions involved, and shows us how the process works.
