Abstract
In pharmaceutical industry it is possible to find some liquid medicines that presentes a distasteful flavor, there is need to mix many sweeteners in the same product to become it with a tasteful flavor, specially when used in pediatric patient. This study presents as main objective to identifythe kind of used sweeteners into pediatric antibitiotic composition. This is a quantitative and retrospective study and performed by bulla’s reading of four pediatric antibiotics and to reach this, a data base survey on Scielo, Lilacs and PubMed, books, masters and doctorate theses. It is verified that the pediatric antibiotics contain many excipients, specially the sweeteners, that presents a direct relationship with children oral conditions. All analyzed medicines contain some type of sweetener – essentially the sucrose.
