ENSURE COMPACT STARTER PACK
WHY HAS MY HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL RECOMMENDED AN ENSURE COMPACT STARTER PACK?
If your healthcare professional (e.g. GP or nurse) thinks you are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition, then they may recommend Ensure Compact, an oral nutritional supplement (sometimes known as a sip feed) that can help you get the calories and nutrients you need.
If you have only just been recommended Ensure Compact, or you haven’t tried all of the available flavours yet, your healthcare professional may start you off with the Ensure Compact starter pack so you can try a variety of flavours.
WHAT IS THE ENSURE COMPACT STARTER PACK?
The Ensure Compact starter pack will have been provided to you because your healthcare professional has recommended you take Ensure Compact. Ensure Compact is a 125 ml milkshake-style, oral nutritional supplement (sometimes known as a sip feed), which is designed for patients who require low volume.
The Ensure Compact starter pack contains a selection of 125 ml bottles of Ensure Compact oral nutritional supplements – one in each available flavour; banana, café latte, strawberry and vanilla. This gives you a chance to try them all and find the flavours that you like the best.
The box also includes a ‘Patient Choice Card’ so you can make a note of the flavours you enjoy so your healthcare professional can try and make sure you receive your preferred flavour next time.
