hyperphenylalaninemia in children.
Enriched
with vitamins, minerals and trace elements
Osmolality (at
a 1 to 9 dilution): 790 mOsm/kg
Indications:
Phenylketonuria and Hyperphenylalaninemia
Directions for Preparation and Use:
The amount of PKU 2 needed
to supplement total daily protein requirements (other than
phenylalanine) depends on age, body weight, and individual
phenylalanine tolerance. The dose of PKU 2 must
be determined by a physician or dietitian and adjusted periodically.
Diets with PKU 2 must contain adequate amounts of energy,
essential fatty acids and phenylalanine to meet daily requirements.
The
daily amount required should be divided into 3 to 5 single
portions and can be taken mixed with calculated amounts of
other food (e.g. beverages, fruit mousse, and solid foods).
For accuracy, PKU 2 should be weighed on
a gram scale.
