The objective of this volume is to?give an overview of the present state of the art of pediatric clinical pharmacology including developmental physiology, pediatric-specific pathology, special tools and methods for development of drugs for children (assessment of efficacy, toxicity, long-term safety etc.) as well as regulatory and ethical knowledge and skills. In the future, structural and educational changes have to lead back to a closer cooperation and interaction of pediatrics with (clinical) pharmacology and pharmacy.

Reflecting increased cooperation between pediatricians and pharmacologists, this book surveys the state of the art of pediatric clinical pharmacology, including developmental physiology, pediatric-specific pathology, drug development and regulatory frameworks.
