Indications:

Pregestimil Lipil is designed for infants who experience fat malabsorption and who may also be sensitive to intact proteins.

Fat malabsorption or steatorrhea may be associated with cystic fibrosis, short bowel syndrome, intractable diarrhea, and severe protein calorie malnutrition. Pregestimil Lipil is also appropriate for infants with galactosemia.

Long-Term Usage:

Pregestimil Lipil is designed to provide a sole source of nutrition for infants up to age 6 months, and to provide a major source of nutrition through 12 months of age.

Normally, in feeding infants, gradual introduction of solid foods after 4-6 months of age is an important developmental, as well as nutritional, step.

In cases of chronic malabsorption disorders, Pregestimil Lipil is sometimes continued as a milk substitute in the diet of children. When Pregestimil Lipil is used as a milk substitute, the total calcium content of the diet should be assessed.
