Can giving Similac be safe instead of Lactodex?
Patient: HI, when my baby was 2 weeks, I gave her Lactogen which caused her extreme allergy. After that I gave Lactodex which suited her. Unfortunately Lactodex is not available in US. My baby is 4 and half months now. I have bought Similac here but I am afraid whther it will suit her. Can similac cause allergy? Doctor: Hi,  Similac can be given safely. However, it contains soy extracts. Out of both, similac is better tolerated.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
