Please be aware that in some instances your parcel may be delayed due to adverse weather on the route from our warehouse, even if your local area itself is not affected. Nutilis Clear has been designed to maintain the original appearance, taste and smell of thickened fluids to support palatability, encouraging hydration and nutrition. If the muscles in the mouth or tongue become weaker or uncoordinated, there is a risk that food or drink that is swallowed may end up in the lungs rather than the stomach. Most people need to drink 6-8 glasses or mugs of fluid (around 2 litres) every day to keep well hydrated.Nutricia has developed a free Care Home Education Programme to support care home staff understand the role of thickener in dysphagia, and how to safely make Nutilis Clear and IDDSI* levels. Changing how the medication looks on the outside, by crushing, chewing or sucking your tablets or emptying your capsules, will change how they work in the body. At Nutricia, we work to serve the patients who depend on us, through healthcare professionals and other caregivers, by developing and delivering specialised nutrition for many conditions.
