The first choice for concise medicines information for children.

Practical and evidence-based, BNF for Children (BNFC) is the only child-focused drug formulary in the world that is both independent, and has rigorous, accredited content creation processes. This new edition provides up-to-date guidance on prescribing, dispensing, and administering medicines to children, plus legal and professional guidelines.

Relied on by health professionals who prescribe, dispense, and administer medicines to paediatrics, BNFC supports confident decision-making at the point of care. Including best practice guidelines and advice from a network of paediatric experts. The process is overseen by a paediatric formulary committee.
