Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the initiation phase of pharmacological treatment, it is important to observe the child's response to the medication. If there is a failure to respond or if side effects are intolerable, switching to a new medication may be necessary. Gradual titration of dosage may also occur, but it is not the primary focus of the initiation phase. It is not necessary to continue using a medication that causes severe side effects, as this can potentially harm the child. Finally, just because one medication in a class is not tolerated does not mean that all medications in that class will be intolerable.
