Spotlight · Novalac Allernova AR

Priority responseCombined EHF + ARCategory of one

Novalac Allernova AR (United Pharmaceuticals) is an extensively hydrolysed formula with a built-in anti-reflux thickener (carob bean gum), studied in the ALLAR trial for CMA infants with regurgitation. It is currently a category-of-one in EU paediatric allergy nutrition: Aptamil Pepti, Cow & Gate Pepti and Nestlé Althéra are all unthickened EHFs, and reflux is managed by add-on Carobel or feed switch. The convenience claim is driving prescriber traction in DE, FR, ES, BE - and carries a perverse-incentive risk where the AR feature is chosen ahead of confirmed CMA diagnosis.
