Indications
Fresubin® 2 kcal DRINK and Fresubin® 2 kcal fibre DRINK are indicated for patients with or at risk of malnutrition who are unable to meet their nutritional requirements with ordinary foods.
The nutrient dense formula may help to improve compliance, as lower volumes need to be consumed compared to other sip feeds. This is for patients such as:
- Elderly patients
- Patients with chronic wasting diseases
- Peri-operative patients
The high caloric and high protein concentration of Fresubin® 2 kcal/fibre DRINKS makes them particularly suitable for patients with increased energy and protein needs and/or fluid restriction,
including patients with:
- Renal failure requiring dialysis
- Liver diseases and ascites
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
