The Infant formula searches are designed to identify young children who are on infant formula.
The Infant formula folder forms part of 022 Meds Management
Infant formula should be prescribed for Cow's Milk Protein Allergy under the direction of a paediatric dietician. Recommended quantities vary depending on age and whether the baby is exclusively breast fed or bottle fed.
Use the report to check that a diagnosis of CMPA has been recorded. In older children, check the record and correspondence from the dietician to confirm whether a formula prescription is still appropriate.
Many regions have prescribing guidelines on the use of infant formula and this search and report can help to review your prescribing and take appropriate actions.
Patients who appear in the report with an empty line of medication information have the drug on their current medication list but it has not been issued in the past 3 months.
This folder is best run using today's date.
