You or someone you care for has been prescribed Nutilis Clear – here are a few tips to make sure you get the most out of it:

• Prepare the food or drink per serving and use within 2 hours
• Use only the scoop provided in the tin
• Always measure the liquid required, e.g. 200ml
• Add all the powder at once to a clean, dry glass
• Once you have added the 200ml of liquid, start stirring vigorously or shaking as soon as possible
• To avoid lumps, stir as soon as the powder and liquid are combined
• To prevent air bubbles, top stirring or shaking as soon as the powder has dissolved
• Use the same amount of powder for hot and cold drinks
• Allow hot drinks to cool slightly before adding Nutilis Clear
• If thickening tea or coffee, always add milk and sugar to the drink before adding Nutilis Clear
• Always make sure the shaker lid is secure
• Shakers are not necessary for mixing, forks work equally as well

Nutilis Clear is a Food for Special Medical Purposes for the dietary management of dysphagia and must be used under medical supervision.
