Long-Term Usage:
PurAmino Jr is designed to provide a major source of nutrition for children age 1 year and up. In cases of severe and multiple food allergies or intolerances, PurAmino Jr is sometimes continued as a milk substitute in the diet of children. This and similar supplemental use of PurAmino Jr in the diet make an important contribution in supporting the maintenance of adequate nutrition in such patients.
When PurAmino Jr is used as a milk substitute, the total calcium content of the diet should be assessed.
Extended use of PurAmino Jr (or other medical foods for children) is most appropriately monitored by physicians and nutritionists on a case-by-case basis.
