FDA Expected To Issue Its First Approval For A Peanut Allergy Treatment

The drug, Palforzia, is taken daily in a regimen known as oral immunotherapy that aims to blunt the immune system's overreaction to peanuts. Though the treatment is not a cure and doesn't work for everyone, a panel of experts recommended that the Food and Drug Administration OK the drug. A decision could come by January. In other news from the FDA: more blood pressure medicines are recalled.
