XPHEN TYR Tyrosidon

Food for special medical purposes. A phenylalanine and tyrosine free unflavoured blend of essential and non-essential amino acids.

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 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.
