Summary of evidence and Expert Committee recommendations
Following the review of the age-appropriateness of formulations on the EMLc, the Expert Committee recommended:
- the addition of spironolactone 12.5 mg tablets to the EMLc;
- the deletion of the 5 mg/5 mL and 10 mg/5mL strengths of spironolactone oral liquid because of unavailability as proprietary products.
