From the reviews:
"This book can be useful not only for those in drug development, but also for pharmacists who work in pediatrics (either hospital or community pharmacists), compounding pharmacists, pediatricians, nurses who specialize in this area, and certainly students or residents in any of these disciplines who plan to focus on pediatrics. . I have reviewed and used many books on drug formulations and pharmaceutics, but I have not seen such a complete book devoted specifically to pediatrics." (Patrick J. McDonnell, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2014)More details
