Abstract We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate suboptimal discharge antibiotic prescribing at a children’s hospital and found that 27% of the prescriptions were suboptimal. Thirty-three percent of the patients who might have qualified for solid dosage forms received liquid dosages instead. Our findings suggest that opportunities exist for discharge antibiotic-stewardship and pill-swallowing programs.
