My father is 91 years old and bedridden for 3 months. The nutritionist suggested Celnutra2 with MCT, to be given 3 times a day through tube feeding, 5 level scoops of Celnutra2 and 1 scoop of MCT in 120 ml of water each time. Is this dosage safe and correct?
If your father's nutritionist recommended Celnutra2 with MCT, the prescribed dose of 5 level scoops of Celnutra2 and 1 scoop of MCT, three times a day, is appropriate for his needs. It should be given exactly as instructed, and the dose should not be increased. Watch for stomach upset, diarrhoea, or discomfort, and inform the doctor if anything unusual occurs. Always confirm with the healthcare provider before making any changes to ensure it is safe for his age and condition.
