MMA/PA Maxamum

MMA / PA Maxamum is a Food for Special Medical Purposes for use under medical supervision. A methionine, threonine, and valine-free, low isoleucine powdered mixture of amino acids with carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. For the dietary management of methylmalonic acidaemia or propionic acidaemia in children 8 years and over and adults, including pregnant women.

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, threonine, isoleucine, valine, fluid and general nutrition requirements of the patient in quantities as prescribed by a clinician or dietitian. Not intended for infants or young children. Only intended for use by individuals with proven methylmalonic or propionic acidaemia (MMA/PA).

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. Paste the prescribed amount of powder with a small amount of water. Gradually stir in the remaining water until the required volume is achieved. Initially, a 1 to 7 dilution is recommended (i.e.. 100g Maxamum plus 700mls of water) with the concentration increasing to 1 to 5 (i.e.. 100g Maxamum plus 500mls water), with increasing tolerance. These dilutions are guidelines only. Maxamum can be taken as a more concentrated drink or paste, however water or diluted drinks should also be taken to counteract high osmolality. Maxamum may be flavoured with a separate flavouring from the Nutricia range.
