Pediatric Medication Suggestions (RAG)

Understand extraction, suggestions, and limitations.

Interpreting notes to extract age, weight, indications

• The assistant extracts indications from the ASSESSMENT/impression.
• Age (years) and weight (kg) should be provided explicitly; if missing, you’ll be prompted.

Suggesting medications (vector + LLM merge)

• Vector search retrieves similar pediatric medications from curated references based on indications, age, and weight.
• LLM suggestions complement vector results; both sets are merged to present concise, evidence‑informed options.

Brand/generic names, first‑line flags, rationales

Each suggestion includes generic name, available brand names (US/Canada when known), a “first‑line” marker if applicable, and a brief rationale.

Limitations and clinical verification

• The list is decision support, not a prescription. Always verify against local formularies, allergies, interactions, and patient‑specific factors.
• Some conditions require subspecialty guidance or lab monitoring not inferred from the note.
