ACCP Report

Pediatric Medication Education Text Online Version Available

Now available online for the first time is ACCP’s Pediatric Medication Education Text (PMET), fifth edition.

For many years, PMET has been the premier resource for practitioners needing easy-to-access drug information to pass on to their pediatric patients’ caregivers. The single-page information sheets can be located quickly with just a click and printed directly from your computer, so you can hand the caregiver easy-to-understand information on how to administer the most commonly prescribed medications given to children 12 years and younger.

Just like the CD-ROM format also available from ACCP, the online PMET offers simple, straightforward medication information for 389 alphabetically organized drugs, including those most often prescribed at hospital discharge or during pediatric ambulatory care visits. Each medication sheet is available in English and Spanish.

On each drug information sheet, you’ll find information on:

  • Why this particular drug was prescribed
  • How to give the medication
  • How to store the medication
  • What to do if you miss a dose
  • Precautions or special instructions you should know about
  • Common side effects
  • Reactions that signal you should stop giving the medicine and call your doctor
