Preparation and Directions for Usage
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. Paste the prescribed amount of powder with a small amount of water. Gradually stir in the remaining water until the required volume is achieved. Initially, a 1 to 7 dilution is recommended (i.e. one 50g sachet plus 350mls of water) with the concentration increasing to 1 to 5 (i.e. one 50g sachet plus 250mls of water), with increasing tolerance. These dilutions are guidelines only. PKU Maxamum can be taken as a more concentrated drink or paste, however water or diluted drinks should also be taken to counteract high osmolality. Maxamum (Unflavoured) may be flavoured with a separate flavouring from the Nutricia range.
Preparation Instructions
- Wash your hands, clean all utensils.
- Paste the prescribed amount of powder with a small amount of water.
- Gradually stir in the remaining water until the required volume is achieved.
- PKU Maxamum is best served chilled and should be consumed immediately.
- Can be flavoured with separate Nutricia flavouring products.
- Do not heat, bake, or add to hot food or drinks (above 55°C).
Usage Methods
- As a chilled drink: Prepare as directed and serve chilled
- As a paste: More concentrated form for flexibility
- With flavouring: Can be flavoured with separate Nutricia flavouring products
- Individual sachets: Convenient 50g portions for easy dosing
Dosage Information
Important: The recommended dosage is dependent on:
- Age of the patient (8+ years)
- Bodyweight
- Medical condition (PKU severity)
Dosage should be determined by a clinician or dietitian only.
