DOSING ERRORS FOR HEMANGEOL VS GENERIC PROPRANOLOL HYDROCHLORIDE
In a 2017, the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology published a letter to the editor, “Prescribing propranolol for infantile hemangioma: Assessment of dosing errors,” showing results from an institutional review board-approved survey comparing the propensity for dispensing and dosing calculation errors of HEMANGEOL (propranolol hydrochloride oral solution 4.28 mg/mL) versus generic propranolol hydrochloride oral solutions (4 mg/mL and 8 mg/mL) during the treatment of infantile hemangiomas.
The survey of 220 pediatric dermatologists and other physicians who treat infantile hemangioma found that medication dispensing and calculation errors are very common among physicians prescribing generic propranolol hydrochloride vs. HEMANGEOL.
