Periflex Junior - Preparation

Periflex Junior must be consumed in conjunction with natural protein, fluid and other nutrients in quantities prescribed by a physician or dietitian to meet protein and general nutrition requirements. Fat, carbohydrate and low protein sources may be used to supply needed calories and to fulfill essential fatty acid requirements.

Intake will vary depending on the age, body weight and medical condition of the individual. Intake is adjusted to maintain normal growth and development.

Periflex Junior is best served as a chilled drink with meals. Make a paste of the prescribed amount of powder with a small quantity of water. For accuracy, the powder should be weighed on a gram scale. Gradually add sufficient water to yield the prescribed volume. Use less water for a more concentrated dilution. Additional fluids should be offered at the same time.

Reconstituted formula should be stored in the refrigerator and used within 24 hours.
