Overview
As we developed our SPOTS session for pediatric patients we discovered that thousands of children every year are still prescribed codeine and tramadol, despite black box warnings — absolute contraindications — from the Food and Drug Administration. So we made a short video — just 5 minutes — describing the reasons why these medications aren’t good for children and what good alternatives are.
You can watch the video here, or for 0.5 hours of free continuing medical education credit, click here. Please watch and share with anyone you know who prescribes opioids to children.
