Hi to all,

Have anybody here tried Fresubin Hepa nutrition drink?

To aid to nutritional insufficiency due to liver cirrhosis?

Would be grateful for your feedback.

Hi! Never heard of it? I was on fortisip and fortijuice when i was malnourished in 2008 and 2014, but that was prescribed by my hepatologist.

I take it these are not prescription drinks by the looks of it, just a nutrient drink. Have you asked about fortisip at all ?

I cant comment im afraid as im not familiar with the above product.

I was given it in hospital when I malnourished and underweight, my mother has been given it in her care home when she was found to be underweight. Not sure if it was the Hepa one, it is not on my list from the dietician, but maybe it is only available if prescribed.
