Article Synopsis
- The management of allergic rhinitis (AR) aims for effective symptom control to improve patients' quality of life, primarily through medication.
- There are knowledge gaps among physicians regarding pharmacotherapy use, especially in primary care, and uncertainty about new combination therapies in secondary care.
- To address these issues, a consensus statement has been created to enhance existing guidelines for the rational use of pharmacotherapy in both primary and secondary healthcare settings.
Background: Breastfeeding is best for infants and the World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for at least the first 6 months of life. For those who are unable to be breastfed, previous studies demonstrate that feeding high-risk infants with hydrolyzed formulas instead of cow's milk formula (CMF) may decrease the risk of atopic dermatitis (AD).
Objective: To estimate the economic impact of feeding high-risk, not exclusively breastfed, urban Malaysian infants with partiallyhydrolyzed whey-based formula (PHF-W) instead of CMF for the first 17 weeks of life as an AD risk reduction strategy.
