What medicine can't children use?
Such as tetracycline, oxytetracycline, doxycycline, etc., children under 8 years old are forbidden. This kind of drug can combine with calcium in newly formed teeth to form a yellow binding deposit, which gradually turns into a non fluorescent Brown deposit, leading to enamel dysplasia, commonly known as "tetracycline teeth". These drugs can also bind to calcium in bone and inhibit bone growth in infants.
Such as norfloxacin (norfloxacin), ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, etc., children under the age of 12 are prohibited. Before the age of 12, the growth, hypertrophy and calcification of epiphyseal chondrocytes in human bones make children grow tall. These drugs can make children's epiphyseal chondrocytes ossify in advance, which not only affects children's height, but also easily causes weight-bearing bone and joint tissue damage.
Such as gentamicin, amikacin, kanamycin, neomycin, streptomycin, etc., children should be cautious. The adverse effects of these drugs on children are ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity. On the one hand, ototoxicity damages the balance system of the inner ear, such as vertigo, nausea, vomiting, nystagmus and ataxia; On the other hand, it damages the auditory nervous system of the inner ear, manifested as hearing loss, delayed and permanent deafness. Nephrotoxicity is due to the high affinity between these drugs and renal tissue, resulting in renal tissue swelling, proteinuria, tubular urine, hematuria, and even acute renal necrosis.
