Abstract
Abstract: The use of medicines for infants and children is presenting one unique set of challenges, because children are the most
vulnerable population in any society. In this study, we set out to present the characteristics and classification of antibiotics
recommended for children according to WHO, EMA and EBM. Also, the aim of this study was to analyze the most prescribed pediatric
antibiotics in 2013 in Republic of Macedonia compared with standard treatments. Presented data was collected according to the number
of prescribed recipes of pediatric dosage forms covered by the Fund of Republic of Macedonia. The obtained results showed that the
most prescribed pediatric antibiotic is amoxicillin with clavulanic acid (875mg + 125mg) in form of tablet, with 280 863 prescribed
recipes which corresponds to the recommendations of EBM.
Key words: Antibiotic, WHO, recipes, children.
