The kinetics in children aged 2-16 years do not differ from those of adults, nor is there a difference between oral and IV administration. The following (mean ± SD) parameters have been found (Kearns 2008):
| Oral (n=24) |
IV (n=18) |
|
|---|---|---|
| Tmax (hours) | 2.54 ± 0.72 | 0.34 ± 0.12 |
| Cmax (mg/l) | 2.97 ± 1.51 | 8.04 ± 3.21 |
| T½ (hours) | 1.27 ± 1.29 | 1.22 ± 0.68 |
| Cl/F, Cl (l/hour/kg) | 0.26 ± 0.2 | 0.20 ± 0.23 |
| Vd/F, Vd (l/kg) | 0.24 ± 0.09 | 0.22 ± 0.14 |
The following median (range) PK parameters were found in 20 children 1 month to 5 years after intravenous administration (Pettersen et al. 2009):
| t½ (hour) | 2,0 (0,7-11,8) |
| Cl (L/hour/kg) | 0,14 (0,01-0,26) |
| Vss (L/kg) | 0,22 (0,09-0,52) |
The following mean ± SD (range) pharmacokinetic parameters were found in 40 predominantly preterm neonates (3 term neonates) after oral administration (Ward et al. 2010):
| 1,25 mg | 2,5 mg | |
| GA (weeks), median (range) | 29 (23,5-40) | 28 (23-41) |
| PNA (Wochen), median (range) | 7,7 (1,3-17,7) | 8 (1,3-19,6) |
| t½ (h) | 3,1 ± 1,5 | 2,7 ± 1,1 |
| Cl/F (l/h/kg) | 0,21 ± 0,12 (0,04-0,42) | 0,23 ± 0,21 (0,03-0,92) |
|
Vd (l/kg) (calculated) |
0,94 | 0,90 |

In obese children, dosing based on total body weight is recommended based on limited data. Dividing the dose into 2 doses per day may be considered (Ross et al. 2015).
