Nutritional support therapy when oral or gastrointestinal nutrition is not possible.
This medication is used in cases where nutrition cannot be supplied orally or through the gastrointestinal tract in children over 2 years of age and adults. It helps improve the body's nutritional status by appropriately supplying calories, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and omega-3 fatty acids. Through this, it regulates nutritional imbalances in patients and supports health recovery. Nutritional support is administered intravenously to ensure that patients receive the necessary essential nutrients on time. Consequently, this medicine is used to effectively manage the nutritional status.
