P31 Oral propranolol liquid: a snapshot survey of concentrations in use
Conclusions
The recommendation to use 1 mg/mL when treating haemangioma is not followed in just under 50% of centres. Over 40% of centres reported having more than one concentration of propranolol in use. There is a desire to adopt a single standardised concentration for all indications, although there are a number of potential barriers. Further work is needed to establish the best approach for standardisation.
