    The basics of prescribing infant formulas
    (Medpharm Publications, 2012) Owens, C. J. W.; Labuschagne, I. L.; Lombard, Martani J.

    Infant formula for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
    (Medpharm Publications, 2012) Owens, C. J. W.; Labuschagne, I. L.; Lombard, M. J.

The use thereof remains controversial, and conflicting evidence exists with regards to its efficiency. The safety of anti-reflux formula has been proven, with only a few adverse effects reported, making it safe for infants with mild symptoms of reflux.
