S26 Lactose-Free Gold 400gm

S-26 Lactose-Free Gold is a specialised cow’s milk-based infant formula developed for babies from birth to six months who require a lactose-free diet.

The formula is designed for the dietary management of lactose maldigestion or intolerance when recommended by a paediatrician. Lactose, the natural sugar normally found in milk, is removed or reduced to a minimal residual level while the formula continues to provide protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals required for normal infant growth and development.

S-26 Lactose-Free Gold contains iron, lutein, nucleotides, taurine, choline and other essential nutrients. It is nutritionally complete and may be used as the sole source of nutrition during the first six months when breastfeeding is not possible and when advised by a healthcare professional.

After six months, it may be used alongside suitable complementary foods as part of a medically recommended lactose-free weaning diet, according to the age guidance printed on the supplied tin.

This is a formula for special medical purposes and should be used only under medical supervision.

Important Feeding Notice

Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for babies, and breastfeeding should be continued for as long as possible.

S-26 Lactose-Free Gold is a formula for special medical purposes. It should be introduced only on the recommendation and under the supervision of a paediatrician or another qualified healthcare professional.

The doctor should determine the appropriate feeding amount, frequency and duration of use according to the baby’s age, weight, symptoms and nutritional requirements.

Lactose intolerance is different from cow’s milk protein allergy. This formula contains cow’s milk protein and is not suitable for babies with a diagnosed cow’s milk protein allergy.

Never refrigerate or reuse formula that has been in contact with the baby’s mouth.
