Critical Safety Alert: "PMOL 100/1" Cannot Be Safely Dosed
I cannot provide dosing for "pmol 100/1" for a 7 kg child because this medication designation does not correspond to any recognized pharmaceutical formulation in standard medical references, and administering an unidentified medication to a child poses severe safety risks.
Why This Cannot Be Answered
- The term "pmol 100/1" does not match any standard pediatric medication nomenclature in current guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics, FDA drug labels, or international pharmaceutical databases 1
- Pediatric dosing requires precise identification of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, concentration, and formulation to prevent potentially fatal medication errors 2
- Up to 40% of children receiving medications are subject to dosing errors, with the highest risk in weight-based calculations for unverified medications 2
Critical Safety Considerations for a 7 kg Child
- A 7 kg child is typically an infant (approximately 4-8 months old), representing the highest-risk population for medication errors and adverse effects 1, 3
- Infants have immature hepatic metabolism and renal clearance, requiring extreme caution with any medication administration 3
- For infants, documenting weight in kilograms (which you have done correctly at 7 kg) is associated with significantly lower dosing error rates (33% vs 53%, p<0.05) 2
What You Must Do Before Administering Any Medication
- Verify the complete medication name, including generic and brand names, active ingredients, and concentration
- Confirm the indication - what condition are you treating in this 7 kg infant?
- Check for age-appropriate formulations - many medications are contraindicated or require special dosing in infants 4, 5
- Consult pharmacy or poison control if there is any uncertainty about medication identity
Common Pediatric Medications That Might Be Confused
If you meant a different medication, here are weight-based dosing examples for a 7 kg infant:
- Oseltamivir (for influenza): 30 mg twice daily for children <15 kg 6
- Epinephrine (for anaphylaxis): 0.07 mg (0.07 mL of 1:1000 solution) IM, based on 0.01 mg/kg 1
- Paracetamol/Acetaminophen (for fever/pain): 70 mg every 4-6 hours (10 mg/kg/dose) 7
Do not administer any medication until you have confirmed its identity with a pharmacist or verified it against the original prescription.
