Abstract
Aim: Although propranolol is widely used in the treatment of infantile hemangiomas, the standard 40 mg tablet needs to be fractioned to obtain 10 mg parts, with even lower doses (i.e., 2-3 mg/kg/day divided into 2-3 daily doses) required in infants. This study evaluated the weight and dose uniformity in split quarters of propranolol tablets.
