Must be used under medical supervision. For enteral use only. Not suitable for use as a sole source of nutrition.

HCU LV contains only trace amounts of sodium, potassium and chloride.

The recommended dosage is dependent on the age, bodyweight and medical condition of the patient, and should be determined by a clinician or dietitian only. Water or diluted drinks should be offered/taken at the same time as HCU LV. To ensure tolerance, the powder may initially need to be introduced at a lower concentration.

The powder is best prepared with chilled water and consumed immediately after preparation.
