Population Pharmacokinetics and Dosage Individualization of Oral Pulmonary Vasodilators in PPHN...
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the NewbornThe use of bosentan, sildenafil and tadalafil in neonates with persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) depends mostly on the empirical experience of pediatricians. Moreover, the recommended dose of those three drugs in treating PPHN remains controversial. Therefore, our aim is to study the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of bosentan, sildenafil and tadalafil in neonates of PPHN then dose a tailor-made therapeutic regimen.
