That would be .04-.16% for the top stat and .0016-.023% for the bottom number. Certainly there are kids using these meds, which is why it’s beneficial to study their long term effects, however it isn’t what I’d consider common. Always good to see research into drug side effects in kiddos though as it seems peds research is always years behind adults.

Obviously if a kid needs to take any of these they will take it. The point the OP was making is that these are not regularly prescribed to the average patient. They are not over the counter either, so it’s very unlikely your average child will ever take them. Also, I just pulled 5% out of my butt. I highly doubt 5% of kids have arthritis.
