Frederick Hecht, MD, FAAP, FACMG FDA OKs inhaled allergy drug for 2-year-olds Last Updated: 2002-07-19 13:02:46 -0400 NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the allergy drug Nasonex (mometasone furoate), made by Schering-Plough Corp., for use in children as young as 2 years old, the company reported Friday. In December 1999, the agency cleared the drug for patients aged 3 years and older. According to Schering-Plough, the approval makes Nasonex the only prescription nasal-inhaled corticosteroid approved for children that young. It was based on a study showing the drug's safety and tolerability in more than 50 children, the company said. Schering-Plough estimated that allergic rhinitis, or nasal inflammation, affects more than 6 million children each year. Copyright © 2002 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.
