Description
Generaid Plus is a powdered feed based on whey protein supplemented with branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and other essential amino acids, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals (low in sodium) and trace elements. A food for special medical purposes.
Indications and Prescribability
Generaid Plus can be used as a sole source of nutrition or as a supplementary feed for children over 1 year of age for the dietary management of hepatic disease, particularly cholestatic liver disease such as biliary atresia. The whey protein in Generaid Plus is low in aromatic amino acids and supplemented with branched chain amino acids, which may be preferentially utilised in liver disease, enhancing positive nitrogen balance. Generaid Plus has 32% of the fat in the form of MCT, which can be absorbed in the absence of bile acids, therefore may be tolerated in conditions such as cholestasis. The sodium level of Generaid Plus is low, and enables the feed to be concentrated if necessary to provide additional nutrition without excessive intake of sodium if ascites is present.
Suggested Intake
The quantity of Generaid Plus should be determined by a clinician or a dietitian only and is dependent on the age, bodyweight and medical condition of the patient.
