TWOCAL BOLUS
WHY HAVE I BEEN RECOMMENDED TWOCAL BOLUS?
TwoCal Bolus is liquid nutrition that can be given via your feeding tube using a syringe. It is designed for people who cannot get all the calories and nutrients they need by mouth and who might have or be at risk of malnutrition.
If you are unable to eat safely, for example if you have difficulty swallowing, or you are able to eat, but can’t eat enough to meet your nutritional needs, then your healthcare professional (e.g. consultant or dietitian) may recommend TwoCal Bolus for you to help you get the nutrients you need.
WHAT IS TWOCAL BOLUS?
TwoCal Bolus is liquid nutrition that has more calories in a smaller amount of liquid feed compared to some other tube feeds. This can help patients meet their nutritional needs without having to be fed as much liquid.
TwoCal Bolus comes in a 200 ml bottle that can be given via your feeding tube using a syringe. It can be used as your only source of nutrition, for example if you are unable to eat by mouth or can be used as a supplement in addition to the food you eat.
