Which is the correct drop factor for infants - microdrops, or macrodrops? I know this is a really easy, stupid question that I should probably already be down with, but I can't remember which it is, and I can't seem to find the answer in my notes or my books anywhere. And my pharm. final is tomorrow, so if anyone out there could help me out...well, I'll just be your best friend. Thanks...... :)
