Precautions
Must be used under medical supervision. For enteral use only. Not suitable for use as a sole source of nutrition. This product should not be used as a sole source of protein but must be given in conjunction with a protein source to supply the methionine, fluid and general nutrition requirements of the patient in quantities as prescribed by a clinician or dietitian.
Preparation and directions for usage
The recommended dosage and timing of intake is dependent on the age, bodyweight and medical condition of the patient, and should be determined by a dietitian or clinician only. First paste the required amount of product with a little water. Add more water with continuous stirring, in an amount 20 times the quantity of the powder (e.g. 1g powder plus 20ml water). These dilutions are guidelines; the product may be given in a more concentrated form, e.g. drink or paste, with water or diluted drinks offered at the same time. The prepared feed should be refrigerated and must not be kept for longer than 24 hours. Shake or stir immediately before use.
A Food for Special Medical Purposes, for use from birth. For use in the dietary management of proven Vitamin B6 non-responsive homocystinuria or hypermethioninaemia and must be used under medical supervision.
