Description
Powdered food for special medical purposes, with a thickened formula specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of children aged 0 to 36 months in case of gastroesophageal reflux. Novalac Reflux PRO contains an exclusive blend of thickeners that combines the qualities of starch and dietary fibers and helps minimize regurgitation. The protein source in Novalac Reflux PRO is from cow's milk protein. In case of allergies, premature birth, low birth weight, or immunodeficiency, consult your doctor. IMPORTANT: Novalac Reflux PRO can be the sole source of nutrition for infants up to 6 months of age if breastfeeding is not possible. Subsequently, and on the advice of a doctor, Novalac Reflux PRO will be integrated into the child's diversified diet. Novalac Reflux PRO must be used under medical supervision and only for infants who present the symptoms for which the product is indicated. The formula should not be modified without consulting a doctor.
Breast milk is the best food for infants. If breast milk is not available or insufficient, infant formula can only be used under medical advice. Improper preparation and storage of any infant formula could pose health risks.
