Description
Hepatical is a nutritionally complete, powdered feed containing whey protein, supplemented with branched chain and other essential amino acids, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Available in Lemon & Lime flavour, Banana-Caramel flavour or Unflavoured. A food for special medical purposes.
Indications and Prescribability
Hepatical can be used to provide complete nutritional support or as a supplementary feed for adults for the dietary management of acute alcoholic hepatitis and end stage liver disease.
Suggested Intake
The quantity of Hepatical should be determined by a clinician or a dietitian only and is dependent on the age, bodyweight and medical condition of the patient.
Preparation & Administration
The suggested dilution of Hepatical is 1 in 2.5 (100g made up to 250mls) which will yield a 1.5kcal/ml solution. To prepare a 1 in 2.5 dilution, paste the contents of 1 sachet (100g) of Hepatical with a small amount of cold water until a smooth paste is obtained. Continue stirring whilst gradually adding additional water until a final volume of 250ml is reached. Alternatively measure 180ml into a container with a lid, add 1 sachet (100g) to the water. Replace the lid and shake until the product is dissolved. This gives a final volume of 250ml. This dilution is a guideline only. The amount of water prescribed will depend on individual fluid requirements and tolerance.
Hepatical is now ready for use.
