Peptamen AF 500ml — Peptide-Based Enteral Nutrition

Peptamen AF 500ml is a ready-to-use, peptide-based enteral nutrition formula designed to support patients with impaired digestion or malabsorption. Formulated with hydrolysed whey protein (peptides), medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and a complete vitamin and mineral profile, Peptamen AF helps deliver balanced energy and essential nutrients via oral or tube feeding when full gastrointestinal absorption is required.

Key Benefits

  • Peptide-based protein for easier digestion and absorption — ideal for malabsorption and compromised GI function.
  • Includes MCTs to support fat absorption and provide efficient energy for patients with impaired fat digestion.
  • Ready-to-use 500ml bottle for convenient tube feeding or oral intake — reduces preparation time and contamination risk.
  • Complete macro- and micronutrient profile to support clinical nutritional requirements.
  • Suitable for fluid-restricted regimens when used as part of a prescribed feeding plan.
Ingredients and Materials

Core ingredients typically include hydrolysed whey protein (peptides), carbohydrate sources, fats including medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), vitamins and minerals to provide a balanced enteral formulation. The product contains milk-derived protein and is formulated to meet the micronutrient needs of enterally fed patients.

How to Use

Peptamen AF 500ml is a ready-to-use enteral feed intended for oral or tube administration under clinical supervision. Use aseptic technique when connecting to feeding sets. Warm to room temperature if preferred—do not microwave. Administer at the flow rate and total volume prescribed by a healthcare professional. Do not add other food or medications to the bottle unless directed by a clinician. Discard unused contents after recommended hang time as per local protocols.

Who It’s For

Appropriate for adult and paediatric patients (as directed) with impaired digestion, malabsorption, or compromised gastrointestinal function who require an easily absorbed, peptide-based enteral formula. Common clinical uses include short-bowel syndrome, pancreatic insufficiency, or other conditions limiting protein and fat digestion. Use only under the guidance of a dietitian or healthcare professional.

Caution & Storage

Caution: Use only under medical supervision. Contains milk protein — not suitable for individuals with a milk protein allergy or galactosaemia. Not for parenteral use. Monitor fluid, electrolytes and blood glucose as clinically indicated. If patient has tube occlusion risk or medication interactions, consult a clinician.

Storage: Store unopened bottles at room temperature away from direct sunlight. After opening, refrigerate and use within the time frame recommended by your local protocols (commonly 24–48 hours). Do not use if seal is broken or bottle is damaged. Refer to the bottle label and manufacturer instructions for specific storage and handling guidance.
