Indications and Prescribability
Lophlex is for use in the dietary management of proven Phenylketonuria (PKU) in children aged 8+ years and adults including pregnant women.
Suggested Intake
The recommended dosage of Lophlex is dependent on the age, bodyweight and medical condition of the patient and should be determined by a clinician or dietitian only. The daily intake of Lophlex should be divided into equal portions and distributed throughout the day. This product must be supplemented with natural protein, fluid and other nutrients in medically prescribed quantities to meet the phenylalanine and general nutritional requirements of the patient. Lophlex contains only trace amounts of sodium, potassium and chloride.
Preparation & Administration
Water or diluted drinks should be offered / taken at the same time as Lophlex. To ensure tolerance, Lophlex may initially need to be introduced at a lower concentration. Lophlex can be prepared by pasting or shaking: 1. To make a paste, mix the contents of one sachet with a small amount of water. Continue stirring while adding water to make a final volume of approximately 80mls. 2. Alternatively, to prepare Lophlex by shaking, pour 65mls cold water into a container with a screw top lid. Empty the contents of the sachet into the container. Seal and shake well until the powder is dissolved. Lophlex is best prepared with chilled water and consumed immediately after preparation.
