How to price drugs reasonably?
I read with great interest the article, “The rising cost of rhinologic medications,” by Vasudev et al.1 It once again brings to our attention the global issue of appropriate drug pricing. As we know, setting a fair price for high-priced medicines is an important issue for governments and medical and health institutions around the worl d. In some countries, such as Canada, France, and Germany, the common pricing method for branded drugs is often negotiated by the government on the basis of the Added Therapeutic Benefit (ATB) they provide to patients.

Efficacy of a Clinical Decision Rule to Enable Direct Oral Challenge in Patients With Low-Risk Penicillin Allergy: The PALACE Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized clinical trial, direct oral penicillin challenge in patients with a low-risk penicillin allergy was noninferior compared with standard-of-care skin testing followed by oral challenge. In patients with a low-risk history, direct oral penicillin challenge is a safe procedure to facilitate the removal of a penicillin allergy label.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04454229.PMID:37459086 | DOI:10.1001/jamainternmed.2023.2986

A Survey of Canadian Dietitians on Identification of Infants at High Risk of Food Allergy and Frequency of Allergenic Food Consumption
Conclusions: Dietitians demonstrated they are up to date regarding the timing of introduction of allergenic solids, but not the frequency of consumption once introduced, for infants at high risk of food allergy. They also expressed low comfort level identifying risk factors for peanut allergy. There are opportunities for further education of dietitians, as well as potential to further utilize dietitian services for the benefit of patients with food allergy or who are at risk for food allergy.PMID:37379474 | DOI:10.3148/cjdpr-2022-041
