FORTISIP IS HERE TO SUPPORT YOU
WHY HAVE YOU BEEN PRESCRIBED AN ORAL NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT?
Your Healthcare Professional may feel you could benefit from taking Oral Nutritional Supplements:
• If they think you require extra nutrition to meet your energy and nutrient needs and you are not able to achieve this through normal diet alone.
• If you are unwell, or recovering from an illness, you may need more food than usual due to increased nutritional requirements or increased losses. However your appetite might be poor and you could struggle to eat and drink enough.
If this is the case, your Healthcare Professional may prescribe Oral Nutritional Supplements to bridge this energy and nutrient gap.
BUT IT’S IMPORTANT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE AND HAVE A ‘NUTRITIONAL GOAL’
The reason why your Healthcare Professional may have prescribed you an Oral Nutritional Supplement may be different from someone else.
Talk to your Healthcare Professional – make sure that the reason you are on an Oral Nutritional Supplement is clear to you.
