Hominex-1 Powder / 14.1-oz (400-g) can / 6 ct

FEATURES

  • Methionine-free to allow greater intake of intact protein.
  • L-cystine, in a soluble form, an essential amino acid that is often deficient in diets of infants and toddlers with homocystinuria.
  • L-carnitine (20 mg/100 g) and taurine (40 mg/100 g) to help supply amounts normally found in human milk and foods of animal origin.
  • Approximately 40% of energy as fat to help achieve acceptable formula osmolality.
  • 6.6% of energy as linoleic acid.
  • Nutrient profile specifically designed for infants and toddlers.
  • When fed according to the Abbott Nutrition Support Protocols, provides adequate amounts of all nutrients.
  • Halal.
  • Lactose-free.
  • Gluten-free.
  • To meet the nutrient needs of the infant or child, infant formula, breast milk or additional food choices must be given to supply protein and methionine requirements. These may be added to the Hominex-1 mixture or prepared separately as instructed. Depending on the specific needs of each patient, preparation will vary as prescribed by physician.

PRECAUTIONS

  • Give only to infants and toddlers with proven vitamin B6-nonresponsive homocystinuria or hypermethioninemia who are under medical supervision. Must be supplemented with protein and fluid in prescribed amounts to completely meet methionine and water requirements.
  • Not intended as a sole source of nutrition.
  • Not for IV use.
  • Never use a microwave oven to warm formula. Serious burns can result.
  • Do not boil mixture or use terminal sterilization.
  • Powdered infant formulas are not sterile and should not be fed to premature infants or infants who might have immune problems unless directed and supervised by your baby's doctor.
