New kid-friendly tuberculosis (TB) drugs are expected to hit markets, the TB Alliance announced.
These dissolvable tablets have sweet flavours and accurate dosages specially manufactured for children.
The TB Alliance developed the tablets teaming up with the World Health Organization (WHO), UNITAID, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United States
government. Together, they aim to reduce numbers of children not adhering to TB medicines in developing countries.
With more child-friendly medicine, they hope that drug regimen adherence will be improved.
