When their children are sick and need medication, many parents often fall into the dilemma of "dividing the medicine by guessing the dosage." This inaccurate medication not only increases the risk of medication for children, but may also lead to adverse reactions. The emergence of oral applicators makes precise drug administration easier.

The National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Annual Report shows that the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Network received 2.419 million "Adverse Drug Reaction/Event Report Forms" in 2023, of which 8.4% were children aged 14 and under, accounting for 14.1% of the total number of reports from pediatric patients. . Compared with adults, children have immature organ functions, weaker liver and kidney functions, and insufficient detoxification functions. Therefore, children are more reactive and sensitive to drugs and are prone to adverse reactions.
As the drug policy for children continues to advance, the research and development of related drugs will become more specialized and refined, and precise drug delivery will become the general trend. In January 2023, the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of Clinical Medication in Children" issued by the General Office of the National Health Commission clarified that medical institutions must accurately prepare children's medicines according to the prescribed dosage, especially for young children, and encourage the development of reliable medicines. New technologies and methods for flexibly adjusting dosages will strengthen standardized management and quality control of personalized medication, and reduce problems such as inaccurate and unsafe dosages caused by "guessing the dosage and splitting the medicine."
Taking oral medicines as an example, preparations such as solutions, syrups, suspensions, and dry suspensions are easier for children to accept, and they are also convenient to measure accurately according to dosage requirements. For this type of dosage form, special administration equipment can be used. Oral applicators can achieve precise control of drug dosage through the standard scale on the tube body. At present, many companies have equipped special oral applicators in drug packaging, such as oseltamivir phosphate dry suspension, Atomoxetine Hydrochloride Oral Solution, etc., provide guarantee for safe medication use in children.
Children are the future of the country and the hope of the nation, and children's health is an important part of national health. According to the requirements of the "Healthy China 2030" Planning Outline, "ensuring children's medication" is an important part of it. It is believed that through policy support and professional technology research and development, a more complete security system can be built to ensure the healthy growth of hundreds of millions of children and help build a healthy China. As an important drug delivery device, oral applicators will play a more important role in ensuring the safety of children's medication.
