Description

Key Features:

  • Easy to Digest: The formula uses small, pre-digested protein fragments (peptides) and easily absorbed fats (MCTs). This makes it gentle on the digestive system for people with impaired GI function.

  • High in Calories: With 1.5 calories per mL, it's a calorie-dense option. This is helpful for patients who need to get a lot of nutrition in a small amount of liquid, like those with fluid restrictions.

  • Complete Nutrition: It can be used as the sole source of nutrition because it contains a full range of vitamins and minerals.

  • Specialized Formula: It is lactose-free, gluten-free, and has a low-residue content, making it suitable for a variety of specific dietary needs.

  • Ready-to-Use: The product comes in convenient, pre-packaged cartons.

Uses:

Peptamen 1.5 is intended for medical use under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is often used for patients who cannot tolerate standard feeding formulas. Some common conditions for its use include:

  • Malabsorption: For people whose bodies struggle to absorb nutrients from food.

  • Pancreatitis: A condition that affects the pancreas's ability to produce digestive enzymes.

  • Short-Bowel Syndrome: A disorder where the body cannot absorb enough nutrients due to a shortened or damaged small intestine.

  • Transitioning from IV Feeding: It can help patients move from intravenous nutrition back to tube feeding.

  • Malnutrition: It is used to help patients meet their nutritional goals when they are malnourished.
