Why is there an overlap in the age bands in BNF for Children?

Frequently asked questions: BNFC Extra
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.

Why does the BNF for Children not recommend brand-name prescribing of modified-release opioids?

Frequently asked questions: BNFC Extra
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.

Inversion Table - Frequently Asked Questions
Our medical advisor prefers to get patients involved with inversion as early as possible. Using inversion to help slow or reverse the effects of scoliosis is helpful at any age, but especially before the bones fully harden at ages 12-14.
