Kids' drug dosing under the microscope: weight matters

This study looks at how two common medicines, paracetamol (a painkiller) and cefazolin (an antibiotic), move through the bodies of children aged 2 to 15 who are either normal weight or overweight. The goal is to see if standard doses work the same way in both groups. About 120 children having minor surgery will provide blood and tissue samples to help doctors find the best dosing for every child.
