Pharmacokinetics in immature animals: a review

Article Abstract:

An analysis of drug pharmacokinetics between neonatal and adult food-producing animals included a review of the differences in absorption, distribution, metabolism and renal excretion of drugs. It was pointed out that delayed elimination was the main problem in neonatal drug metabolism since renal clearance is underdeveloped. Therefore it was suggested that extra care must be exercised in administering drugs to immature animals.
