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 phenylalanine, tyrosine, fluid and general nutrition requirements of the patient in quantities as prescribed by a clinician or dietitian.
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. The recommended dilution is 1 to 20 (i.e. 5g of XPHEN TYR Tyrosidon plus 100mls of water). To prepare, add a small amount of Tyrosidon and stir with a fork until a smooth paste is obtained. Continue stirring whilst adding the remaining volume of water. Tyrosidon can be taken as a chilled drink. It can also be taken as a paste, additional water or diluted drinks must be consumed at the same time. Tyrosidon may be also flavoured with a separate flavour from the Nutricia flavour range. Please note flavouring is not recommended for infants less than six months.

By clicking the continue button you’ll be able to find out about infant milks and other products. Breastfeeding is best and provides many benefits. It is important that, in preparation for and during breastfeeding, mothers eat a healthy, balanced diet. Combined breast and bottle feeding in the first weeks of life may reduce the supply of breast milk, and reversing the decision not to breastfeed is difficult. The social and financial implications of using an infant milk should be considered. Improper use of an infant milk or inappropriate foods or feeding methods may present a health hazard. If an infant milk is used, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use carefully – failure to follow the instructions may make an infant ill. Follow-on milk should only be used as part of a mixed diet and not as a breastmilk substitute before 6 months.
Foods for special medical purposes should only be used under medical supervision.
