Summary of Pediatric BCS Classification and Comparison to Adult BCS Classification

Drug Adult BCS Class Pediatric BCS Classa
Dolasetron 1 3
Ketoprofen 2 4b
Voriconazole 2 4c
Azithromycin 3 3
Ciprofloxacin 4 4d

aIt should be noted that the permeability class contribution was elucidated from literature pharmacokinetic data that did not include all pediatric subpopulations (i.e., did not include neonates, infants, children, and adolescents)

bHowever, neonates are calculated to be high solubility (i.e., Class 3) using Young’s rule, Clark’s rule and Modified Weight Rule. Infants are calculated to be high solubility (i.e., Class 3) using Young’s rule and Clark’s rule

cHowever, neonates are calculated to be high solubility (i.e., Class 3) using Young’s rule and Clark’s rule. Infants are calculated to be high solubility (i.e., Class 3) using Young’s rule

dHowever,Young’s rule for neonates indicates high solubility (i.e., Class 3)
