Although not every pharmaceutical drug has a pediatric version, respiratory tract and gastrointestinal drugs for pediatric use were developed a long time ago. But due to cost considerations and restrictions on the types of medications that are covered by the National Health Insurance program, very few Taiwanese hospitals actually use pediatric drugs.
雖然不是每種藥都有小兒專用製劑，但其實，一般小兒常用的呼吸道、腸胃道用藥，都早已開發出小兒製劑，只是國內醫院基於健保給付藥種的限制、成本的考量，很少使用兒童專用製劑。
