Nutramigen Puramino 400g
Amino acid-based hypoallergenic formula for infants and young children with severe cow's milk allergy
Nutramigen Puramino is a nutritionally complete amino acid-based infant formula specially formulated for the dietary management of severe cow's milk allergy (CMA), multiple food allergies, and other conditions where an extensively hydrolysed formula may not be suitable. Suitable from birth, it provides complete nutrition under medical supervision and contains a high proportion of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) to support fat absorption.
Overview
Nutramigen Puramino is designed for infants and young children with complex food allergy needs. Unlike standard infant formula, it contains 100% free amino acids rather than whole or partially broken-down milk proteins, making it appropriate for infants who require an amino acid-based formula following healthcare professional assessment.
It is nutritionally complete and suitable as the sole source of nutrition from birth to 6 months of age, and can continue as part of a mixed diet after weaning.
