Japan approves first human milk-based fortifiers as prescription drugs for premature infants.
Japan has become the first country to approve Prolacta Bioscience’s 100% human milk-based fortifiers—PreemieFort 6, 8, and a third formulation—as prescription drugs for fragile infants, including very low birth weight babies and those with serious medical conditions.
The approval by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, backed by the PMDA, follows a phase III clinical trial showing improved growth without increased risk.
The products, made under pharmaceutical-grade standards with vat pasteurization and over 20 safety tests per batch, preserve immune-boosting components.
The move marks a global first, recognizing human milk-based nutrition as essential medical therapy.
