Contraindicated drug–drug interactions and associated adverse drug reactions in an observational cohort study of 4543 paediatric hospitalized patients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) are associated with an increased risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Hospitalized children are particularly vulnerable to DDIs and ADRs due to polypharmacy, frequent use of unlicensed or off‐label medications, and dosing regimens often extrapolated from adult data.
