Cows Milk Allergy - powered by Nutricia Neocate

Neocate Active was developed for children over 1 year of age with cows' milk allergy (CMA) or Multiple Food Protein Intolerance (MFPI) or another condition where an elemental diet is required.

Children of over one year with CMA/MFPI are often in need of nutritional support using an elemental diet. This is because they follow a restricted diet. For example, with CMA, children must avoid dairy foods, potentially increasing the likelihood of a poor intake of calcium. That is why your child’s Dietitian/Doctor may prescribe Neocate Active - an amino acid-based powdered supplement feed in order to avoid nutritional deficiencies in your child’s diet. Neocate Active contains additional calcium, phosphorous and iron to help your child meet their daily requirements.

Neocate Active consists of amino acids, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, designed to provide dietary supplementation. It is:

• Hypoallergenic - based on 100% non-allergenic amino acids
• Milk protein-free and gluten-free
• Suitable as a supplement to a milk free diet
• Convenient “on-the-go” sachets
• Unflavoured or blackcurrant flavour

Your child’s doctor might prescribe Neocate Active for:

• Cows' Milk Allergy (CMA)
• Multiple Food Protein Intolerance (MFPI)
• Food allergy associated conditions:
  • Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE)
  • Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD)
• Other medical conditions for which an amino acid-based diet is required

Recommended intake

It is up to a Doctor or Dietitian to determine the total daily intake of Neocate Active and this will depend on age, weight, diet, and medical condition of your child. The recommended feed concentration is made up using 250ml water plus 1 sachet (63g powder), which makes a volume of 300ml.

Preparation

• Wash your hands. Use clean equipment to prepare feed.
• Measure the required amount of cold water into a container and add the prescribed quantity of Neocate Active.
• Cover and shake the product until the powder has dissolved.

When given orally, Neocate Active is best served chilled.
