The BNF for Children is produced by the BNF Publications editorial team under the supervision of a Paediatric Formulary Committee. A network of expert clinical advisers provide advice and information on current best practice. The names of all individuals who have contributed can be found in the Preface.

BNF for Children contains information on the use of drugs for neonates, infants, children and adolescents. It is based on information derived from Medicines for Children and the BNF, combined with information from other sources such as hospital paediatric formularies, research studies and systematic reviews. Whereas the 'standard' BNF deals with the use of medicines for individuals of all ages, BNF for Children is able to focus specifically on the use of medicines in children.

Presently the BNF and BNF for Children products do not interoperate but work is on-going to 'link' the two publications at various levels. The subscription service at www.medicinescomplete.com provides the facility to search both the BNF and the BNF for Children simultaneously.

BNF for Children is for use by all health professionals, in all sectors of healthcare, who are involved in prescribing, administering or managing medicines used for children. The resource is also very well suited to professional training. When used for making clinical decisions, it should be interpreted in the light of professional knowledge and supplemented by specialist literature if necessary.

BNF for Children will be published annually in July. Digital versions will be available simultaneously or shortly after publication of the book.

BNF for Children covers the use of drugs in children of all ages from newborn infants, including those born prematurely to individuals aged 18 years.

The use of age bands in the presentation of doses can be confusing. In BNF for Children, a dose for, say, 'Child 1?8 years' means that the dose may be used from the child's 1st birthday to the 8th birthday and the next band, say, 'Child 8?12 years' applies between a child's 8th and 12th birthdays.

The BNFC has not seen any evidence to indicate that switching between brands of modified-release opioids that have the same release profile (e.g. between different brands of 12-hourly oral morphine, or between different brands of fentanyl patch) alters the therapeutic effect. Furthermore, when used in accordance with the product licence, there are no grounds for a clinical difference between brands of fentanyl patch.

Mast cell degranulation is the mechanism behind hives. In simple terms, certain little white blood cells are going bonkers and firing histamine. Mast cells fire in response to antigens (invaders, real or perceived) that come into your body either by contact (skin), inhalation or digestion. Antigens are also produced within the body by other factors, such as inflammation or systemic illnesses such as cancer, thyroid disease or lupus.

Whilst the central BNF data is updated twice a year, the other pages on the website are updated on a more regular basis. The BNF text is compiled with the help of over fifty expert clinical advisers under the authority of the Joint Formulary Committee (comprising representatives of the two publishers and the Department of Health). This allows the publication to provide impartial, authoritative and practical advice and ensures that the BNF remains reliable.
