Galactomin 19 (Glucose-Galactose Intolerance all ages)

  • Description:

    Galactomin 19 is a nutritionally complete infant formula containing cow’s milk protein, carbohydrate (fructose), fat, vitamins, minerals and trace elements and minimal levels of lactose, galactose and glucose. A food for special medical purposes.
  • Indications & Prescribability:

    Galactomin 19 can be recommended for use in infants as a sole source of nutrition or as a supplementary feed for children for the dietary management of glucose-galactose intolerance either primary or secondary to another disorder.

  • Suggested Intake:

    The quantity of Galactomin 19 and the dilution should be determined by a clinician or a dietitian only and is dependent on the age, bodyweight, and medical condition of the patient.

  • Preparation & Administration:

    Each level scoop (4.3g) of Galactomin 19 requires 30ml (approximately 1fl.oz) to yield the recommended feed concentration of 12.9%.

    1. Wash hands. Sterilise feeding bottle and teat.
    2. Boil fresh water. Cool boiled water so that it feels warm to the wrist and pour desired amount into sterilised feeding bottle. Keep bottles capped until use.
    3. Fill the scoop provided in the pack and level off by passing the back of a clean, dry knife across the rim. Do not press the powder down into the scoop. Use only the scoop provided.
    4. Add the prescribed number of scoops of Galactomin 19 to water.
    5. Replace the cap on the bottle and shake until the powder dissolves. Before feeding, ensure that the formula is at the correct temperature by placing a few drops on the wrist. Galactomin 19 is now ready for use.

    When bottle feeding, prolonged or frequent contact of feeds with the infant’s teeth should be discouraged as this increases the risk of tooth decay. Cleaning the infant’s teeth after the last feed at night should be encouraged.
