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.

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.

The Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (http://www.icmje.org), formerly referred to as the Vancouver convention, is preferred by many medical journals.

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.

A version for use on a standalone Windows® or Macintosh computer and that is also suitable for personal digital assistants (PDAs) has been developed by Medhand International The publishers of BNF for Children will be working with clinical system suppliers to produce versions of BNFC that interoperate with users' clinical systems

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.

The BNF has received expert advice that for the treatment of acute gout, colchicine should be given no more frequently than every 4 hours. This dose is preferred to the licensed dose of every 2?3 hours because, while remaining effective, it is less likely to cause side-effects.

If a licensed product has contra-indications, by law, they must be mentioned ON the box. The warnings on the leaflet were put there for general information, to give our customers good advice.

The Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (http://www.icmje.org), formerly referred to as the Vancouver convention, is preferred by many medical journals.

No. FITNESSGRAM uses health-related criteria called Healthy Fitness Zones to determine students' overall physical fitness and suggest areas for improvement when appropriate. Healthy Fitness Zones (HFZ) are not based on class averages or any other peer comparisons. They are "criterion-referenced" standards that are based on how much fitness is needed for good health. The standards are set specifically for boys and girls of different ages using the best available research.

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.

Prices are included in the BNF to allow comparison between products. They are not suitable for quoting to patients since they do not include elements such as container allowance and professional fees. Prices in the BNF are generally calculated from the net cost used in pricing NHS prescriptions. This information comes from the Prescription Pricing Authority and is updated each edition.

The BNF lists those food preparations which the Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances (ACBS) considers can be prescribed for certain specified conditions.
