“…Based on these premises, the aim of the present work was to preliminarily evaluate the feasibility of electrospinning in the manufacturing of pullulan-based ODFs intended for the administration of sildenafil to pediatric patients. Indeed, sildenafil was recently proven useful in the treatment of persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborns and children, improving oxygenation index and pulmonary arterial pressure [Dhariwal et al, 2015;Evers et al, 2021;He et al, 2021b;Li et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2020]. In this respect, oral administration of 0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg every 8 h was recommended, eventually customizing the dosing regimen based on therapy response [Abman et al, 2015].…”
