Lollipop containing ketamine (50 mg) was evaluated for the premedication of pediatric patients. The subject of this study were 12 children aged from 1 year 7 months to 6 years. They received the lollipop and showed relatively good emotional state and no typical side effects. These results suggest good possibility of ketamine lollipop as the premedication for pediatric patients.
