About Us

About Us

Pediatric Therapeutics was born in 1994 in the Intensive Care Unit of the National Children’s Hospital in San José, Costa Rica, when the first edition was published, at a time when smartphones did not exist and computing, in general, was on its first steps.The field of Pediatrics represents a challenge for both general practitioners and pediatricians due to the diversity of weights and sizes of children across different ages.

Applying the experience obtained from leader Hospitals around the world such as The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, and the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada, we decided to publish a basic list of medications with their corresponding doses according to weight and frequency. The first edition became one more weapon in the daily management of sick children, emphasizing portability, and ease of use.
