PaediaSure Compact is a 125 ml oral nutritional supplement suitable for the dietary management of children weighing 8 - 30 kg with, or at risk of developing, disease-related malnutrition. It has been specifically developed for children who may benefit from a smaller volume, as an alternative to ready-to-drink supplements which are 200 ml in volume. Each bottle provides 301 kcal (2.4 kcal/ml) and 8.4 g of protein. PaediaSure Compact is also available in a mixed flavour starter pack which contains two bottles of the vanilla flavour and one bottle of each of the other flavours, a downloadable recipe book, and a flavour choice card. The milkshake style oral nutritional supplement is ready-to-drink and available in three delicious flavours: banana, strawberry and vanilla.
