Mitre E, et al. - The existence of a correlation between the use of acid-suppressive medications or antibiotics in the first 6 months of infancy and development of allergic diseases in early childhood was comprehensively assessed by the researchers among children who were Department of Defense TRICARE beneficiaries with a birth medical record in the Military Health System database between October 1, 2001, and September 30, 2013. Data demonstrated associations between the use of acid-suppressive medications and antibiotics during the first 6 months of infancy and subsequent development of allergic disease. Yielded results recommended the use of acid-suppressive medications and antibiotics during infancy only in situations of clear clinical benefit.
